Our Take

GOGO PENGUIN's latest album, Fanfares, is a whirlwind rollercoaster of jazz-infused electronica that will have you dancing with penguins in no time. From the first notes of the opening track "Stranger Things," you are transported to a futuristic world where the music is electric and the beats are infectious.

The trio, consisting of Chris Illingworth on piano, Rob Turner on drums, and Nick Blacka on bass, have a chemistry that is undeniable. Their musical prowess is on full display throughout Fanfares, with each member shining in their own right while still coming together to create a cohesive and dynamic sound.

Tracks like "Last Words" and "RRR" showcase GOGO PENGUIN's ability to blend traditional jazz elements with modern electronic production, resulting in a sound that is both nostalgic and innovative. The album is a sonic journey that takes you through highs and lows, twists and turns, leaving you breathless and wanting more.
