Morning Becomes Eclectic playlist: December 23, 2025 (with Special Guest Leon Thomas)
KCRW’s signature music program — defying format since 1977.

Formed by brother and sister duo Jack and Lily Wolter, Penelope Isles came to life on the Isle of Man where the two were born and raised. The band recently visited our KCRW studios and performed a handful of songs from their debut album Until The Tide Creeps In. They also spoke with KCRW DJ Aaron Byrd about having the sea as their inspiration, their upbringing and the influence it had on their music.
