Our Take

Manchester-based trio, GoGo Penguin, are back with a deluxe reissue of their critically acclaimed album, V2.0. So, what’s new in this version, you ask? Well, let me tell you, dear reader, this deluxe edition is like a gourmet meal served with a side of extra sprinkles.

The opening track, "Murakami," sets the tone perfectly with its mesmerizing piano melodies and infectious beats. It’s like being whisked away on a magical journey through a sonic wonderland. From there, we are taken on a rollercoaster of emotions with tracks like "Kamaloka" and "Hopopono." The intricate instrumentation and tight production keep you hooked from start to finish.

But don’t be fooled by the serene surface of this album, there’s a wild side lurking beneath the calm waters. Tracks like "Garden Dog Barbecue" and "Break" pack a punch with their frenetic energy and unexpected twists and turns. It’s like being caught in a whirlwind of sound, unsure of where it will take you next.

Overall, GoGo Penguin’s V2.0 (Deluxe Edition) is a masterpiece of modern jazz. It’s experimental yet accessible, thought-provoking yet danceable. So grab a cup of tea, sit back, and let the music take you on a journey you won’t soon forget. Cheers, darlings.
