(photo by Bjorn Iooss) A new, slicing single from electro pop darling hopeful Penguin Prison, "Something I'm Not" is all glitchy and sensually whispered vocals with a yearning intonation that gives way to a charging call to arms reveille. The...
Monsieur Adi, Penguin Prison and Monarchy are the most promising new electro talents to look out for this year. All of of them combine a distinct point of view with a strong knack for melody that has people across the wide pop spectrum interested and eager for more. Penguin Prison (aka Chris Glover) clearly incorporates his rich musical experience in his work. Starting out producing punk rock, he took a left turn to focus on the beats and rhymes of hip hop, soul and rap. His hip hop work allowed him to really experiment [...]
penguin prison - "a funny thing" (download) This song has been bouncing around in my head for the past couple of days. Aside from remixing Marina & The Diamonds , and strategically leaking some of his songs onto the internet for people to buzz about, Penguin Prison doesn't really have too much material out there, but what he does have out there is pretty impressive. I'm going to assume that he's also somehow down with Girl Talk , as he has Girl Talk and Girl [...]
Like a tidal wave of awesomeness, more goodness comes crashing out of the Neon Gold camp. In March Penguin Prison is releasing his new single 'Something I'm Not', which will be a double A-side with 'The Worse It Gets'. Slightly darker and dirtier than PP's previous outing, but this is no bad thing. 'Something I'm Not' has a real raw electronic Pop sound, the song itself is expertly crafter modern pop but the use of rough sounding analog synths gives it that edge that works so well. ♫ Penguin [...]
Hey! So I've just finished my summerschool exams and it was gruelling, but you know what they say - work is never over! Thats true for Diplo too, who's just collab'd with Robyn on a new dancehall track called "No Hassle", I like the vibe that the pair are going for on this track and can see it being a huge hit! Robyn - No Hassle Also this week - Chiddy Bang released their new video for the track "Opposite of Adults" which samples MGMT's "Kids" and is [...]

Look forward to the debut album later in the year andsome upcoming remixes of Goldfrapp and Jack Penate. For now, we have this: MP3: Penguin Prison - Something I'm Not Pre-order from Pure Groove | US customers . Related Posts Introducing: Penguin [...]
One of our favorite record companies, Neon Gold Beat Company , are releasing two new Penguin Prison songs on March 22nd and to get everyone excited they are offering one of songs up for free. "Something I'm Not" is a bit different from the super pop we have come to expect from PP and I couldn't be happier. With this tune he really proves that he has a range most artists that come up through the blogs don't possess. Don't get me wrong, this is still very much pop music but it's pop music [...]

Penguin Prison: "Something I'm Not" [ mp3 via Neon Gold] Head over to his Myspace to check out "The Worse It Gets". Sounds AMAZING!
Rambling on from the previous blogaruu. Have you ever thought you were going to blow your own mind? On Saturday, I think I tried my best to. Not really sure why so. Now that I think about it, bit of a joke. Decision making seems to do it at the moment. Brain being torn one [...]
Penguin Prison recording in London Penguin Prison - known as Chris Glover on the street - is one of the most exciting acts of 2010. He's releasing a new 7" single, The Worse It Gets , on March 22 via the brilliant Neon Gold label. I love these vinyl releases - they make me wish he'd breaks his upcoming album into an old [...]

Det finns värre sätt att vakna på än till det här, trots alldeles för få timmar sömn och med ett nytt tolvtimmarspass i skolan framför mig (ni som läst föregående inlägg förstår, ni andra kan bara ignorera den här meningen). Det här är en ny låt från Penguin Prison , som egentligen snurrat på hans myspace ett tag men nu har Neon Gold Records lagt upp mp3an på deras blogg. Jag har tidigare haft känslan av att grabben i fråga här har varit något överhajpad men den här låten, Something I'm not , undanröjer i princip [...]

New Penguin Prison to report as well! "Something I'm Not" premiered earlier today, to be unleashed as the b-side on the The Worse It Gets. The release is up for pre-order over at Neon Gold if you are so inclined. Expect news on the Starsmith & Russ Chimes remixes that are to come hopefully sooner than later. Penguin Prison - Something I'm Not Daedelus is back for the second time in two months, playing at Lincoln Hall on Tuesday night with [...]
Okay. Are you PSYCHED for the WEEKEND?! Snow days, Valentine's Day, President's Day... heck, just any old Friday is cause for celebration. For awesome music. Free music. Even in the face of Google shutting down music blogs without warning (aka #Musicblogocide2k10 ), we here at EAR FARM feel it's high time for another dose of 100 percent free and legal tunes (we think) from our inboxes direct to your ears. Seriously, we're calling these 100 percent free and legal tunes because they're sent to us by record labels and bands themselves with the [...]
Ok, so I'm on the east coast now. This past weekend I was in DC and we got 20 inches of snow. Now I'm back in Brrrooklyn and there's like 10,000 inches. I'm kind of over it. But on the bright side, I got all my homework done, finished my taxes, and listened to the Penguin Prison remix of "I Am Not a Robot." See below. If you find yourself locked indoors like I have, it's good to make sure you have the correct provisions. In other news, there's a song called Minimal Elvis and I'm not sure who it's [...]
Probably in the running for one of the worst band names ever is Penguin Prison from NYC . It's so bad I almost didn't wanna post it, but his music is so good it trumps the name. It's like the conversations I have with artist friends of mine about band names. They don't really mean that much. If your music is good enough people will find you. Which is exactly the case with Penguin Prison great electronic dancey stuff and a great ear for a catchy pop hook! Here [...]
Having found a safe little niche in the music world, Sweden's Erik Hassle easily slipped into Beastonia with his "cooler than thou" and refreshingly rad take on what we like to classify as pure pop perfection. With a voice that cuts clear, even when summoning his best dirge-sung tones, this 21-year old star in the making has long been on my, and many a blog's technological-tongues over the past year. Having already introduced you to him a number of times [...]
After so many blogs that we love reading were going crazy over Erik Hassle, especially this song, we started doubting our ears and then their ears. Sure, he had an interesting voice and the lyrics were really good but it was just too dull to go through with listening to it. The Penguin Prison remix takes the good bits from the original and makes the whole song listenable. This version tugs at our heartstrings and the difference between how we didn't care about the song before and how much we love it now astounds us but we could quote the [...]
