about
Following a season of live shows that saw the band perform alongside Meursalt; Jonnie Common; Hailey Beavis; and En Attendant Ana, Peplo released their eagerly anticipated debut single 'Tall' on 21/02/20.
The band's sound has been described as "lofi, dreamy, and lush" by The Unsigned Guide, while their music has drawn comparisons to "Dolly Mixture, Marine Girls, and C86" (Rats on the Run) as well as "The Cranberries or 10,000 Maniacs but with added complexity and muso appeal" (Storm the Palace). The release of 'Tall' capped a successful gigging campaign that took the band to OK PAL Records' all-day festival at Portobello and Last Night From Glasgow's label showcase at Celtic Connections.
Peplo formed, fully, in 2018 with the intention of cutting classic pop songcraft with an alternative edge.

lyrics
~
Take me
on the first road out to anywhere,
a Mercedes bends the truth
of a bridal suite
for his back seat.
Take me
and then give me an excuse to feel
I’m yours.
But there's something in the nothing
that commits me,
and if you can't be good, you can be true...
Or we can tell tall tales on us.
Well-versed, rehearsed,
we hide in sight that's far too plain.
I sit myself on
the wrong side of another fence.
Take me
and then give me up as evidence,
I’m yours.
But there's something in the nothing
that commits me,
and if you can't be good, you can be true...
Or we can tell tall tales on us.
Backs were made for burden
while we laid ours down in sand.
You're smaller in the nighttime;
proximity's fault.
Still, we can tell tall tales on us...
Take me
on the first road out to anywhere,
a Mercedes bends the truth
of a bridal suite
for his back seat.
Take me

But there's something in the nothing
that commits me,
and if you can't be good, you can be true...
Or we can tell tall tales on us.
Well-versed, rehearsed,
we hide in sight that's far too plain.
I sit myself on
the wrong side of another fence.
Take me
and then give me up as evidence,
I’m yours.
But there's something in the nothing
that commits me,
and if you can't be good, you can be true...
Or we can tell tall tales on us.
Backs were made for burden
while we laid ours down in sand.
You're smaller in the nighttime;
proximity's fault.
Still, we can tell tall tales on us...
