Recorded and mixed at Hothouse Audio, St Kilda, Melbourne, Australia by Craig Harnath.

Penny Ikinger mixes heavy rock and electronic distortion layers with folk refrains and pop delights. Known for her career as a guitarist with Australian acts WET TAXIS & LOUIS TILLETT, Ikinger has also played and recorded with artists such as TEX PERKINS, DENIZ TEK, KIM SALMON and SACRED COWBOYS. She now takes the stand as a singer/songwriter - a lone star.

Her outstanding debut album Electra was released on CD on the American label CAREER RECORDS and special edition deluxe vinyl on BANG! RECORDS, Spain. Electra has excited reviewers across Australia, the USA and beyond. CAREER RECORDS is the brainchild of the legendary RADIO BIRDMAN guitarist DENIZ TEK and Montana based music guru RON SANCHEZ.

“All woman and all business - the Australian singer-guitarist - a graduate of the Radio Birdman school of axe warfare- unveils a fetching line of balladry here: black-hearted folk song draped in fuzz, topped with a dark, baby-doll whisper...imagine Nico channelling Sandy Denny in front of Blue Oyster Cult - and you're close”.
David Fricke, Senior Editor, Rolling Stone (USA), Nov 2003

Electra features ten tracks produced by Penny Ikinger and Hothouse engineer CRAIG HARNATH. Electra received accolades world-wide. Critics from the prestigious New York magazines The Village Voice and The Big Takeover placed Electra in their Top Ten albums of 2003 (#2 for both). Electra also appeared in more Top Ten lists in America, Canada and Australia. Ikinger was awarded an International Touring Grant from Arts Victoria and toured the USA and Canada in 2004 in the Career Records ‘Caravan of Stars’ tour. She also toured Australia and New Zealand to promote her album.

“Stunning…Dense with thick, distorted chords and swampy moans, but with graceful, delicate moments as well, the disc is primal, raw, and gut-wrenching…”
- Shawn Conner, Georgia Straight (Canada)

“…it’s like she’s harnessed the concentrated energy of a thunderstorm … and it’s straining to explode as she performs all kinds of unnatural acts and inventions with her instrument…” ”
- Dream Magazine, Dream Magazine (USA)

“… with Ikinger's aggressive white-noise cacophonies of guitar counterpointed by the compelling coo of her voice, each song comes on like a …siren's call from the depths…” ”
- Sophie Best, The Age Newspaper (Australia)

"Penny Ikinger is ready to take America by storm… It is the closest any female-hell, any human-has come to replicating the virtuostic majesty of Hendrix. Upstairs, I'm sure the big guy is smiling…”
- Jeff Penczak, Fakejazz (USA)

“A fabulous album loaded with cool and seductive songs … Ikinger’s guitar is noisy and abrasive and provides a nifty counterpoint to her sultry and subdued vocals…Highly recommended".
- Steve Gardner, The Big Takeover Magazine (New York, USA)

“Toe-nail polish and noise guitar. Sexy, silvery sandals and breathy, twisting and turning vocals. I bet they stare at her guitar and worship at her feet back in her native Australia...” .
- Sally Green, Mohair Sweets (USA)

“Incredibly cool femme fatale laid-back noise rock by Australian guitar beauty … Ikinger’s voice and amazing guitar work makes this one helluva solid piece of female rock…” Top 5 Albums (International)”
- Simon, Lowcut Magazine (Denmark)
