    Road Records Review

    ELECTRIC PENGUINS GOODBYE FROM THE ELECTRIC PENGUINS

    electric penguins are an irish based mostly electronica based three piece featuring mark cummins, paul murphy and sean quinn, the album is released on the very fine psychonavigation label, the album is a truly excellent collection of mellow electronic pop sounds with lots of live guitars, pianos and lush farfisa organs, there are elements of the postal service, schneider tm, early 4ad and plenty more, the vocals are all heavily processed with vocoders and there are lots of background glitchy digital effects, people who like the sounds from morr music, city centre offices etc will simply love this record, this is quite simply one of those truly excellent records that deserves a place in every home, hats off to all involved, i just cant recommend this highly enough, september 2006
    Psychonavigation €14.99

    Electric Penguins: Goodbye From The Electric Penguins Pschonavigation Records. While this Irish electronic three piece's debut album is a welcome surprise it's at first tempting to think this is just technological hi-jinx. However, the album was recorded mostly live using 1970s equipment such as mellotrons and wears its influences (from Floyd, to Kraftwerk, Mercury Rev, Ulrich Schnauss and even Air's quieter moments) well. From the opening Sigur Ros motifs, there is a complexity to the songwriting through the use of processed vocals, swoosh soundscapes and menacing Moog runs that make this essential for fans of ambient/downbeat pop. Download: Supergirl", "Lonnie", "Transatlantic"
