MAMMOTH PENGUINS
THERE IS NO FIGHT WE CAN'T BOTH WIN
Mammoth Penguins are a 3-piece indie pop powerhouse, showcasing the songwriting and vocal talents of Emma Kupa (Standard Fare, The Hayman Kupa Band) backed up by the noisiest rhythm section in indie pop Their first album, Hide and Seek, was released by Fortuna Pop! in 2015. Their follow-up release John Doe in 2017 was an ambitious concept album, exploring the feelings of loss and anger at a man who fakes his own death, only to return years later. It featured contributions from Haiku Saluts Sophie Barkerwood and Alto 45s Joe Bear, and expanded well beyond the 3-piece rocknroll template, with washes of strings, synths and samples filling out and developing Kupas songwriting. Having had their and now for something completely different moment, the band have brought that ambition and expanded palette to the production of this new release. |
