Our Take

GOGO PENGUIN From The North - Gogo Penguin Live In Manchester captures the electrifying energy of this jazz trio in a way that only a live album can. From the hypnotic grooves of "Strid" to the frenetic energy of "Raven," this record is a rollercoaster ride of musical brilliance.

Each track showcases the band's undeniable talent and chemistry, with pianist Chris Illingworth's dazzling fingers dancing across the keys, bassist Nick Blacka's infectious energy pulsating through every note, and drummer Rob Turner's mind-blowing precision keeping it all together.

The live setting adds a rawness and authenticity to the music that is simply infectious. You can feel the energy of the crowd pulsating through each track, making you wish you were there to witness it in person.

But even if you weren't lucky enough to be in the audience that night, this album does an excellent job of capturing the magic of Gogo Penguin's live performances. It's a must-listen for any jazz lover looking for something fresh and exciting.

So do yourself a favour and give From The North a spin. You won't regret it. Trust me, these penguins know how to party.

About the artist

GoGo Penguin

GoGo Penguin have been carving out their own unique niche in the jazz world since their formation in Manchester in 2012. Comprised of pianist Chris Illingworth, bassist Nick Blacka, and drummer Rob Turner, this trio has been shaking up the jazz scene with their blend of acoustic and electronic elements. With influences ranging from Aphex Twin to Shostakovich, GoGo Penguin's music is a bold and refreshing take on modern jazz. Their compositions are intricate, yet accessible; avant-garde, yet approachable. The trio's dynamic performances have earned them a reputation as one of the most exciting live acts in the UK. Their 2014 album, v2.0, was a critical and commercial success, earning them a Mercury Prize nomination and establishing them as one of the most innovative jazz acts of their generation. Since then, GoGo Penguin have continued to push boundaries with their genre-defying sound, incorporating elements of electronica, trip-hop, and classical music into their compositions. GoGo Penguin's latest album, A Humdrum Star, is a testament to their evolution as musicians. With tracks like "Raven" and "Transient State," the trio showcases their ability to seamlessly blend complex rhythms and melodies with a contemporary sensibility. This is not your grandfather's jazz – this is GoGo Penguin at their most daring and dynamic. In a music world that is constantly evolving, GoGo Penguin stand out as a true original. With their innovative sound and electrifying live performances, this trio is poised to continue pushing the boundaries of jazz and beyond. Keep your eyes and ears on GoGo Penguin – you won't want to miss what they do next.
