If you’re a fan of New York disco, as accessible as it is ang ular, all burbling bass lines, resonant rhythms, shimmering synths and heavenly melodies, then you’ll love the new Penguin Prison album.\n Imagine, if you will, Chic produced by James Murphy, or a collaboratio n between Prince and The Human League. It is some measure of Penguin P rison’s skills in the studio, on vocals and in terms of songwriting, that such illusory marvels have been achieved on this superb self-tit led collection, that some critics have gone as far as to hail it a mod ern day Off The Wall masterpiece.\n“It’s not a concept album about Michael,” says Prison, or maybe we should call him Penguin, of his all-time hero “But it’s definitely been influenced by him.”\nTo say he was an early starter would be an understatement. From the age o f 10 he was singing in the local gospel choir. When he was 11, he got an agent and began recording jingles. By 12, he had learned to play gu itar and was into punk rock, the American variety – bands such as Gr een Day, NOFX and Bad Religion. He even performed as a teen at the l egendary CBGBs with his band The Museum.\nChris became Penguin Prison at the start of 2009. It wasn’t long before he earned a reputation a s remixer du jour for the likes of Marina and the Diamonds, Goldfrapp and Passion Pit. He agrees that he conferred NY kudos especially on th e British artists, and admits his favorite remix was for Jamiroquai, a dding that the secret to a good remix is “to throw everything away f rom the original track and start from scratch”.\nIt was inevitable t hat Chris would then make music of his own, which he began in late 200 9. You can hear the spectacular results on the debut Penguin Prison al bum, which sounds to all intents and purposes like a Greatest Hits col lection, so chock-full it is of catchy hooks and classic pop choruses. There is Multi-Millionaire, which is about “being rich even if you ve got no money” and one titled Don’t Fuck With My Money that fe atures Jackson-style percussive gasps and a lyric that pushes the enve lope. “I was worried it was too crazy – ‘Can I really say that? People said leave it in, so I did. “All my lyrics are sarcastic b ut serious as well,” he adds. “So I’m really saying ‘don’t f uck with my money’! Because if you try to, it’s not going to be go od…”\n\nFor more information visit http://trueskool.com/events/pen guin-prison-dj-set-w-aaron-axelsen-omar-popscene DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20120803T220000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20120804T020000 CATEGORIES:san, francisco, ca LOCATION:Mighty, San Francisco WEBSITE:http://www.mighty119.com URL:http://www.mighty119.com CONTACT: ORGANIZER: ATTACH;FMTTYPE="image/jpeg":http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/ file/get/2247917965?profile=original ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Sunissa Forsman":http://trueskool.com/profile/SunissaForsman END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
