GoGo Penguin

Emotive, cinematic break-beat trio GoGo Penguin are back, playing music from their exhilarating new album Everything Is Going to Be OK – April 2023 (Sony Music XXIM), together with songs from their luminous back catalogue. Bursting with the optimism of new beginnings, with a new drummer, a new record label and a subtly updated and developed sound, the band are ushering in a more sonically liberated era.

Everything Is Going to Be OK is born from a time of turbulence and loss. During a personally difficult period for the band, including deep personal loss and mourning, the studio offered the band a sanctuary from real life. The resulting project draws its strength from a shared understanding and empathy. Through our hardships, together, we will emerge stronger; everything is going to be ok.

GoGo Penguin are: Chris Illingworth, piano, Nick Blacka, bass & Jon Scott drums plus Joe Reiser sound production



“[...]recalls the intricacy of Aphex Twin or Four Tet[...]”

(The 4O5)



“[...]the taut synergy between racing, pulsing, frenetic percussion and looping leaping keyboard rollercoasters... draw listeners ever deeper into their dicey slipstream[...]”

(****Mojo)



"[...]powered by fluttering, junglist drums, slithering bass lines and an increasing bank of Eno-esque digital manipulations. Hypnotic stuff[...]"

(The Guardian)



“[...]glistens with niggling bass and stabbing piano chords... contemporary British jazz's great experimenters[...]”

(Bearded)



“[...]meticulously structured, deftly paced and futuristic... owes as much to 1990s drum and bass as to jazz... hypnotic and quietly epic[...]"

(****Music OMH)
