GoGo Penguin: A Humdrum Star

Read "A Humdrum Star" reviewed by Phil Barnes


If 2016's Man Made Object, their first for Blue Note, was an exercise in consolidating past triumphs while signposting potential ways forward, then there can be no doubt that with A Humdrum Star GoGo Penguin have stepped into a version of that future.
