Our Take

If Beethoven and Aphex Twin had a musical lovechild, it would be Gogo Penguin's V2.0 (Deluxe Edition). This Manchester trio has managed to create an album that is equal parts classical elegance and electronic madness.

From the hauntingly beautiful piano melodies to the frenetic drum patterns, every song on this album is a rollercoaster of emotions. Tracks like "Kamaloka" take you on a journey through space and time, while "Garden Dog Barbecue" makes you feel like you're at a futuristic dinner party hosted by robots.

The Deluxe Edition features bonus tracks that only add to the overall experience. "Fort" is a slow-burning masterpiece that showcases the band's ability to build tension and release it with surgical precision. Meanwhile, "Last Words" is a delicate ballad that will leave you in tears.

Gogo Penguin's V2.0 is a true gem in the world of modern music. It's a testament to the power of three musicians who are not afraid to push the boundaries of genre and create something truly unique. So sit back, relax, and let Gogo Penguin transport you to a world where the piano is king and the beats are out of this world.

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.
