Our Take

GOGO PENGUIN's "Man Made Object" is a melting pot of sounds and styles that is sure to pique the interest of any music connoisseur. This album is a rollercoaster ride of emotions, blending jazz, electronic, and classical influences into a delicious musical stew.

From the first track, "All Res," it's clear that GOGO PENGUIN are not afraid to push boundaries and experiment with different sounds. The combination of Chris Illingworth's intricate piano melodies, Nick Blacka's funky bass lines, and Rob Turner's dynamic drumming creates a unique sonic landscape that is both captivating and exhilarating.

Tracks like "Smarra" and "Branches Break" showcase the band's ability to seamlessly blend live instruments with electronic elements, creating a sound that is both modern and timeless. The frenetic energy of "A Hundred Moons" is infectious, while the haunting melodies of "Weird Cat" will linger in your mind long after the album has finished.

Overall, "Man Made Object" is a triumph for GOGO PENGUIN, showcasing their incredible musical talent and boundless creativity.

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.
