Penelope & The Promise just dropped their debut single "The Line that Divides" – and honestly, it’s quite the sonic departure. This fresh project springs from the creative mind of L.A.-based music engineer Lumen Loraine, who you might know from his previous work under Cayo Coco.
The shift is pretty dramatic, actually. Where Loraine once stayed behind the scenes, he’s now stepping boldly into the spotlight as frontman.
Electronic sounds dominate this new direction, but there’s something wonderfully chaotic about it too. Think still-life chaos meets calculated precision – if that makes any sense at all.
The magic happened on Oregon’s coast, where some seriously talented folks came together. Caleb Laven and Zach Fogarty lent their production chops to craft this surprisingly well-tuned piece.
What you get is this fascinating blend: psychedelic soft rock dancing with ambient electronica. It’s airy, almost weightless in places, yet there’s this underlying rhythmic funk that keeps everything grounded.
Loraine’s vocals seem to float alongside that funky backbone – never fighting it, just… flowing parallel.

Actually, this isn’t their first rodeo this year. "The Line that Divides" follows "Hello World," and Loraine’s clearly on a mission to capture something special. Something magical, even.
The plan? Keep releasing tracks steadily until their debut LP drops in early 2026. Bold strategy, but based on this single, the future looks pretty bright for Penelope & The Promise.
