So I've been toying with this idea for a while now. We get a lot of emails filled with great music, often things fall by the wayside simply because of a lack of time, or even though a track can end up on repeat for weeks, sometimes I find that I don't have anything clever or interesting to say about it, just that I like it. So I present to you The Drop , once a week I'll bring you the things that I just didn't have time to write about sooner, but will carry your ears through the [...]
Penguin Prison : Something I’m Not ( Entrepreneurs Candy Humper Remix) On adore le nouveau projet du New-Yorkais Chris Glover Penguin Prison . On ne se privera donc pas du remix de son titre Something I’m Not signé par le producteur british Entrepreneurs ( MP3 ).
Today, a venerable volcano of lo-fi indie pop/rock has been erupting from the New York scene (see Vivian Girls, Cymbals Eat Guitars, etc.). Sleigh Bells have taken elements of this scene and infused a grandiose sense of noise and rock so succinctly that it feels effortless in the face of so many down-tempo acts who rigorously attempt to provide their own uniqueness in a sea of similar bands.
Great news! Finally, New York disco duo Holy Ghost! will release their debut 'Static On The Wire' EP on May 18th via DFA. The EP contains four songs 'Static On The Wire', 'Say My Name' (which was also featured on the latest Kitsune Maison Compilation 9), 'I Will Come Back' and 'I Know, I Hear' and the artwork is inspired by Barbara Kruger. The title track features Chris Glover aka Penguin Prison on backup vocals and Juan Maclean delivers the guitar solo. Love it. Fill it up! Stream: Holy Ghost!: [...]
Peering through the dusty flap, A. could see the VCR had not been used for a very long time. A viscous liquid was oozing as out as he tried to retrieve the cassette. Reams of murky chocolate tape shot out without warning, looping round his neck and dragging him inside. Blinded by lights, he reached into his bomber to find his shades. The cassette had grown, expanded to surfboard proportions, and there he was hanging ten in some fierce marshmallow meteor storm circa 1993. Everything was clear and distinct, the meteors started to ressemble Chris Glover and A. [...]

Awesome video to go along with a great song. Hopefully you have already heard Penguin Prison aka Chris Glover. If you haven't stop sleeping and check out his music. Pretty awesome. This video is all live action performance shot over Skype in NewYork and BretonLABS in London, UK. Here are a couple great Penguin Prison remixes to check out. Jack Penate 'So Near' (Penguin Prison Remix) by Penguin Prison Sebastien [...]
Completely counter-cultural and brilliantly regressive, Penguin Prison is the insanely hook-laden yin to lo-fi’s grumbling yang. Whilst most the the artists being plastered over the front pages of blogs are looking to a future of bad sound quality and hazy atmospherics, Penguin Prison is racing back to 80s disco and pop. I’ve never been so tempted to use the word “fun” without feeling guilty. Penguin Prison – The Worse It Gets Penguin Prison – Something I’m Not You should really grab [...]
Penguin Prison is Chris Glover from New York. To help push the release of the “The Worse It Gets”, his new single, a bunch of official remixes have been circulating around the internet. The remixes included here are by RAC and Strasmith. Both versions are the kind of disco-pop feel-good music that has "summer" written all over it. So kick back, enjoy the sun and turn the volume up... Penguin Prison - Worse It Gets (Starsmith Remix) [...]
![Who Is – Monarchy [VIDEO & 20+ Tracks]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2500106_lg.jpg)
Frankly, I don't know who Monarchy is. Doesn't seem like anyone does - and that's the point. Their identities have been claimed by the manic machine of modern social networking in the aftermath of the "force-fed" personal lives of artists "these days" - this is what Monarchy articulated in an interview just a couple of days ago. Uncorroborated rumours would put Stuart Price as 50% of the pair, as his stylistic fingerprints seem to be all over the videos and limited imagery that has [...]
Lodging up in London's most trendy areas hasn't stopped the band Luxury Living from creating genuinely wonderful disco pop music. The band has sparked up huge interest from their remix of Penguin Prison 's 'Something I'm Not' and now they're doing the rounds with their own music, and thankfully, its just as fresh, just as smooth and just as catchy. Catch the Hoxtonites spreading the love on Brick lane at 93 Feet East 14th May. Download: Everything Is Going To Be Amazing - Luxury Living (Alt Link) [...]
I'm going to be honest in saying we've been pretty fucking slack this month. I'm not going to apologize though.. instead I'm going to post everything I've enjoyed so far in the month of April. Hasn't been a massive month in terms of banger tunes, but it's been a modest month. Enjoy the shit out of these. And no, George Michael's 'Faith' wasn't released this month.

Suicide Sundaes – stop your grinnin’ and drop your linen. Every Sunday electblake of Earmilk will bring you the weeks dirty servings, and some old favorites through a throwdown-throwback to simpler times. A time when bangers were big, remixes were bigger, the bassline bled, and we didn’t care about anything as long as came in kicking and left screaming. To hell with sketchy sunday, we want to shove another dragon down the hole. With the world all a whirl in the pre-wake of the new Crystal Castles album on the horizon, its [...]
Earlier this week, Rolling Stone launched their latest installment, dubbing this as a special issue on the "State of Rock" . Featured within the pages is a piece titled "40 Reasons to Get Excited About Music" , but alas, the compilation did little to titillate, especially with yawners like Black Eyed Peas and Miley Cyrus, along with "duh, we already know about 'em" nods to M.I.A. and The Roots.

If there's one thing I hate more than anything, it's being late. So last Thursday, in anticipation of Penguin Prison 's 11pm live debut at Mercury Lounge, we gathered up our beastly belongings and hustled over to the venue around 8pm. And what a show it was...but why on earth did we wait until now to review the spectacular set? A lost (then thankfully FOUND) memory card with pictures delayed this from going live. So yeah, we're late with this...but shit, it's so worth it. [...]

You can also listen to the latest show on Soundcloud every week via the blog . Here's this week's which takes in Twin Sister, Harlem, Coco Rosie, Phantogram, Penguin Prison, [...]
I'm a little slow on this one, blame work not me. Anyway Penguin Prison aka Chris Glover hails from New York and makes electro-pop. He doesn't really need much of an introduction as he's getting enough coverage in newspapers and blogs but he's definitely worthy of a mention here. Comparisons to Hot Chip are not uncommon and equally not undeserved from what we've seen so far. Penguin Prison - The Worse It Gets [alt] And just as a treat, here's the excellent Starsmith remix [...]
