The Gin Pennies play pop songs, no doubt about it, but enveloped by a gypsy outfit of percussive guitars, upright bass, violin and trumpet, there’s a unique slant to their forthcoming debut that sets it apart from the masses. If Lake Street Dive traveled back to 1920’s Paris and made a record with Django Reinhardt, it might sound something like The Gin Pennies.

Lyrics:
How I wish I could outrun this winter
The way he steals the sun just brings me down
But when I try to move my roots restrain me
And leave me clinging right on to the ground

But life just moves right at me way too fast
And my tangled limbs reach out but they are reaching for the past

Give me seasonal affection
To learn to love the changes and where I am
'Cause even when the autumn breeze steals my leaves
I'll just keep making more

Oh I know the wind will come berate me
And knock off all this bark that I've built up
But I will stand tall he can't uproot me
And I'll keep growing ring by ring by ring

Give me seasonal affection 
To learn to love the changes and where I am
'Cause even when the autumn breeze steals my leaves 
I'll just keep making more

Give me seasonal affection
To learn to love the changes and where I am
'Cause I know that it's soon the clouds will part
And the sun will help me ripen this lil young fig of my heart

Seasonal Affection (original)

At the core, The Gin Pennies are an indie-pop band with a sensual female vocalist supported by a delightful gypsy band aesthetic. It’s an engaging mixture of era and vibe, where modern-day indie-pop meets a 1920s French juke joint...in Austin Texas.
