GoGo Penguin
Gondwana Records shines a light on another of Manchester’s well kept musical secrets, the expansive, brilliant piano trio GoGo Penguin. Featuring pianist Chris Illingworth, bassist Grant Russell and drummer Rob Turner, GoGo Penguin, draw on a heady brew of influences from Aphex Twin to Brian Eno, Debussy to Shostakovich and Massive Attack to EST. GoGo Penguin who have already developed a growing cult following in the North West as well as turning in storming performances at the Gateshead International and Manchester Jazz Festival’s first came to the label’s attention when we heard them at a friends night (Norvun Devolution) at the Roadhouse in Manchester. We were immediately drawn to their sublime collective empathy and the seamless fusion of jazz, classical and electronica influences in their music. ‘We were blown away the first time we heard them, for us tracks like Last Words and HF are modern anthems and we knew immediately that we wanted to release their music”. We are very proud to welcome them to the Gondwana label”
