"...one of the pioneers of 2000s-style indie rock..." - Brooklyn Vegan

"(Penner has a) knack for combining simple pop melodies with experimental digressions (and) can fit a whole lot of ideas into a two-minute song. Each tune packs a memorable punch." - Now Toronto
In support of his newly released, debut solo album titled "EXEGESIS," currently receiving critical praise around the world from the likes of NPR, the BBC and more, Canadian songwriter Alden Penner (best known for his time spent as singer / guitarist and founder of Montreal indie-pop band The Unicorns) is announcing a second upcoming New York performance, taking place April 28th at The Studio at Webster Hall with guests Poursand Nick Millevoi.

About Alden Penner:
"It sounds like Alden Penner meets Sparks. The singing is so much fun and I love the atmospheres. The guitar work is so full of life and so full of fun. Lovely Legs is such a fun ride. A Beautiful Dream is wonderfully proud. The last section of Losing My Head makes me feel like I'm in a lake. Lost The Skin is perfect. Word feels like an ancient message being transported through time. Beauty of the Lamb is the most beautifully transcendent." - Michael Cera
Alden Penner is a songwriter and musician based in Montreal, Canada and founding member of critically acclaimed bands The Unicorns and Clues. His solo recordings and film scoring have been known, cherished and circulated by devoted fans and record labels since the early 2000s."
Penner has been involved in music since his early years growing up in rural Quebec taking piano and flute lessons. He continued with trumpet, percussion and bass guitar in school band after moving to B.C. at age 9, and eventually took up the electric guitar and singing. Some of his first bands started in Campbell River while attending high school and working events in a jazz ensemble with his geography teacher. Alden Penner and Nick Thorburn (Islands) formed the Unicorns out of high school. In 2003, after moving to Montreal, they recorded the widely celebrated "Who Will Cut Our Hair When We're Gone?"
Until now, his only formal releases as a solo artist have been a handful of limited-run singles and 2 EP's, with the most recent one being 2013's "Precession," 4 songs which received glowing reviews and are featured on his debut album "EXEGESIS."
Some of these songs were started almost a decade ago, a few recordings being initiated with Mark Lawson (Unicorns, Arcade Fire), but most were recorded at home with borrowed equipment and assembled piecemeal. They were brought to completion in late 2013 and early 2014 with the assistance of multimedia artist Laura Crapo, who co-produced the album along with Penner.
