GoGo Penguin – Necessary Fictions
The boundary-pushing new album from the acclaimed Manchester trio
GoGo Penguin—pianist Chris Illingworth, bassist Nick Blacka, and drummer Jon Scott—return with Necessary Fictions, a bold new chapter in their evolution. Known for their genre-blurring blend of jazz, classical, and electronic music, this album sees the trio expanding their sonic palette with modular synthesizers and first-time guest collaborations.
The record features the debut of vocals on a GoGo Penguin track (“Forgive the Damages” with Daudi Matsiko) and contributions from the Manchester Collective, led by violinist Rakhi Singh. Necessary Fictions is a confident, exploratory release that showcases a band willing to evolve while staying deeply connected to their core identity.
