About
UK trio GoGo Penguin (pianist Chris
Illingworth, bassist Nick Blacka and drummer Rob Turner) have been hailed as
the “Radiohead of British Jazz”, but they draw equally on rock, jazz and
minimalist influences, alongside the intricacy of Aphex Twin or Four Tet to
create their punchy, experimental, but always beautiful music.
Their 2014 album v2.0 was
named a Mercury Prize album of the year alongside albums from Damon Albarn,
Young Fathers and Jungle. In 2015 they signed to Blue Note Records and released
the albums Man Made Object in 2016 and A Humdrum Star in 2018.
Their EP, Ocean in a Drop (Music for Film) was released in October 2019
and they are currently mixing a new album for release in 2020.
