Penguin Prision – A Funny Thing

Penguin Prision   A Funny Thing listen

This song got me dancing the second it exploded in my face, which is a plus in my book. I pretty much couldn’t stop moving some body part while sitting in my chair at my desk. It’s definitely got a very catchy and feel-good vibe to it. I can just imagine a large group of sweaty bodies dancing along to this at a club, all singing to the chorus of “We can’t ever be alone again.”

Chris Glover, better known as Penguin Prison (not sure why), is definitely onto something with this track and the previously PMA highlighted “Animal, Animal.” For a one man show, he’s got some well rounded music worth checking out. Continue reading →

Passion Pit member, Shuttle, remixes Phoenix’s “Love Like A Sunset” and I like it better than Animal Collective’s take on it. Here are a few more remixes I like:

Penguin Prison – Animal, Animal

Penguin Prison   Animal, Animal  listen

You may have first heard the name Penguin Prison from his popular remix of “I’m Not A Robot” by Marina and The Diamonds. This time around, the NYC based indie pop newbie is back with his very own original, “Animal, Animal.” For a first single, I’m saying its pretty damn good. He has great vocals that stand on their own and an ability to mix melodies that make him an artist to keep your eye on. Peguin Prison is “the total package, one man pop machine!”

He hits all the key points with his lyrics, I mean don’t we all want to be animals? And who doesn’t want to be friends with Mike Tyson?!

Towards the end it gets a little repetitive but an overall decent and somewhat exciting track.  DOWNLOAD, DOWNLOAD, DOWNLOAD for something new and fresh! Check out Penguin Prison’s myspace page to hear his other song (Its worth a listen).

Marina and the Diamonds – I Am Not A Robot (Penguin Prison Remix)

Marina and the Diamonds   I Am Not A Robot (Penguin Prison Remix) listen
I featured a couple of Marina and the Diamonds tracks on my latest podcast, popping her PMA cherry. I am a relatively new fan of hers, having ignored her for many months, I am ashamed to say. If you are familiar with Marina and the Diamonds, you are probably obsessed with “I Am Not A Robot,” shiny and fresh off her The Crown Jewels EP.

Enjoying myself some Marina tunes, I figured it was high time I blogged about her. I found the perfect opportunity to when I found this outstanding remix by Penguin Prison on her record label’s blog. By the way, highly recommend you read it from time to time :)

The remix gives the piano-driven “I Am Not A Robot” a funky DFA flavor that is arguably much better than most of the tracks on YACHT’s new album. Listen to it here. Continue reading →
