GoGo Penguin, the trio from Manchester that combines jazz, classical, and electronic influences in an inspiring way, returns with a new album, 'Necessary Fictions', where pianist Chris Illingworth, bassist Nick Blacka, and drummer Jon Scott delve deep within themselves to achieve ‘what we currently consider to be our integral, authentic qualities.’ It's a powerful drive for some of their boldest music to date, as they integrate modular synthesizers, Moog Grandmother, and electric bass into their sound more than ever before while spectacularly sliding from acoustic instrumentation to electronics with drums at the forefront. 'Necessary Fictions' is honest and powerful.
