P.E. Contact and Social Media
NYC electronic music collective P.E. return with their third and final album Oh! (out 10/3/25). Oh! Is the sound of a startled exclamation punctuating an exit, and the embodiment of the music within: fun and fluorescent, fluid and flirty, dirty and a little dangerous. Oh! features an expanded P.E. lineup, including the great Eleanor Friedberger of The Fiery Furnaces on the lead single “Color Coordinator.”

From their conception in 2017 through the NOPE Tape series, P.E. existed as an experiment in co-conspirited collaboration. Oh! continues to cast a wide net, featuring an expanded lineup from their original formation, including Eleanor Friedberger of The Fiery Furnaces on the lead single “Color Coordinator.” The resulting music ranges wide as ever, from the jubilant grooves of the title track and “Color Coordinator” to “The Fiction Writer”- a tender duet between Veronica Torres and Jonny Campolo - through the city pop sounds of “(Do You Like) So So” and “Purple On Time,”and into the abstracted beyond.
SPECIAL EDITION LP IS ON BLACK VINYL AND COMES WITH AN ENAMEL PIN.
About The Leather Lemon by P.E.
Digging into mystery, romance, and sex appeal with The Leather Lemon, the group is composed of members of Pill (Mexican Summer) and Eaters (Dull Tools) and centers its sound within a Bermuda Triangle of dance music, electronic composition, and experimental rock. Members Jonathan Schenke, Bob Jones, and Jonny Campolo play within pop parameters, building upon free-form collaboration to create a fluorescent groove machine that harnesses the energy of their frenetic live shows. Singer Veronica Torres explores her softer side, expanding her vocal repertoire from spoken word and jagged growls to cherubic and sensuous psalms. Sax virtuoso Benjamin Jaffe’s chiseled experimental tone is heard in an extended solo of true romance in “Tears in the Rain,” a somber surrealist duet penned by Torres and Andrew Savage, singer/guitarist of Parquet Courts.
Recorded primarily at Schenke’s Studio Windows in Brooklyn, NY, The Leather Lemon was cultivated from a fertile creative period between spring 2020 and summer 2021, which also yielded 2021’s acclaimed The Reason For My Love EP. Pitchfork writes:
The quintet refines their impulses on their 2020 debut Person and transforms them into a body-moving EP. The jittery electronics are still there, but the drum cuts feel sharper and lighter, bringing a sense of structure to what could easily be shapeless. Vocalist Veronica Torres abandons spoken-word and leans fully into singing about poetry, beauty, and the contours of the body. Her lovely vocal stretches fill up the space once occupied by industrial bass drops. Sensuality suits them well.
SPECIAL EDITION LPS COME WITH BONUS “SICK, SAD, FUN” CASSETTE.
Person by P.E.
Person is the debut from NYC's P.E., a band born of the city's art-punk underground and dedicated to freaky experimentation. Comprising Veronica Torres, Jonathan Campolo, and Benjamin Jaffe (all of the beloved and freshly defunct Pill) alongside Jonathan Schenke and Robert Jones of the electronic/art-rock favorite Eaters, P.E. features some of NYC's most notable experimental voices. Early shows were entirely improvisational, allowing the group to develop a collaborative chemistry that led to an equally free-form recording process.
