GoGo Penguin

"They grew up in the era of techno and drum and bass, and have cannily adapted the rush of electronic music to a traditional acoustic lineup of piano, double bass and drums. Now in their mid-30s, they are on crisp, confident form here, having taken time to refine their approach".

"More often than not, the U.K. trio sounds like a documentary soundtrack: It's propulsive, yet rarely commanding of complete attention ... This album is jazz, but without swing, without solos, without dissonance and without much conflict".

"You can sense the sky-high confidence on these perpetually slippery genre-dodgers' fifth album. Their most composed outing by some distance, it dazzles from the second Rob Turner's breakbeats kick into "Atomised"'s endlessly looping piano peals, and not least at its stuttering Autechre-esque denouement ... Chris Illingworth's driving, Esbjörn Svensson-like repetitions are still front and central ... A trancelike alliance of technical mastery and instinctual chemistry far greater than the sum of its acoustic parts, GoGo Penguin already feels definitive".
