The modern jazz trio GoGo Penguin have been wowing audiences for years with their piano, double bass and drum set-up. From delicate ditties to epic swells and cascading melodies, their music has been of such exceptional quality across their lifespan, that their status is almost unparalleled. Band members have rotated over the years but their sound is still laser precise. It takes a lot to provide a cohesive musical experience with new bandmates but GoGo Penguin have made it work.
‘From The North’ is a new 7-track live recording of tracks which focus on their 2023 album ‘Everything is Going To Be OK’. Not only does the songwriting showcase melodies and emotional waves that get right under your skin, but the release showcases a live one-take setting. Each note, pluck and beat is in tempo. It portrays a trio utterly in sync with each other and thankfully this full release was captured on video too. Whilst the EP is out now to purchase, you can also enjoy the full performance on YouTube below. Get the lights down low, a drink in hand and enjoy musicianship at its finest.
