Named after the password for Paul McCartney's Cavendish Square pad in the 60's, Electric Penguins are: Mark Cummins: Vocals, Guitars & Synthesizers, Paul Murphy: Piano, Synthesizers & Vocals & Sean Quinn: Synthesizers, Guitar & Piano.

Electric Penguins are interested in all forms of music, but mostly electronica/ambient. The idea behind their debut album 'Goodbye From The Electric Penguins' was to make a modern record using only 70's instruments/sounds. No fancy programming, no 5.1 surround sound, no cut'n'paste - just three guys in a studio doing it old skool with Moog, Mellotron, Farfisa organ, piano & guitars. The end result is an impressive blend of melodic invention & musicianship - apart from a basic step-sequencer & mono drum box, all instruments & vocals were performed live.

From the opening 'Gelb' with it's piano-in-an-empty-room vibe to the closer 'Too Far' with an aching vocal reminiscent of Sigur Ros, 'Goodbye From The Electric Penguins' is a seamless musical tour de force which will be essential listening for anyone who is into Eno, Pink Floyd, Kraftwerk, Sigur Ros, Flaming Lips, Air, The Postal Service etc.

Lyrically, the themes are loss, loneliness & absence. The cover image is a tale in it's own right - see www.paulquinnphotography.com and look up 'All Back To Eddies (Tea, Toast, Sex, Marmalade)'.
