The New York Times once hailed GoGo Penguin as one of the 12 best bands at the 2017 SXSW festival. This comes as no surprise as even way back in 2014, their debut album V2.0 was nominated for the prestigious Mercury Prize. Their first Blue Note release in 2016, Man Made Object, was equally inspired. GoGo Penguin’s music is much more than jazz – it crosses boundaries between jazz and electronic – dividing core critics on both sides and at the same time attracting a whole new audience. The music is committed, original and incredibly energetic. The band itself is a constant presence in some of the coolest major festival in the worlds, often the only jazz act at the likes of SXSW and Coachella. “an energized sound... the band’s new album takes hold right away and sustains an upbeat groove… It’s a piano-driven blend with all the traditional aspects you’d expect from the genre while still scanning as something refreshingly vibrant and contemporary.”—Pitchfork “To ask whether GoGo Penguin plays jazz misses the point of the sense of adventure in contemporary popular music... They are experimentalists in pursuit of superior improvisational music. The groove matters most... the trio knows what it’s doing and does it exceptionally well.”—Wall Street Journal
