The Imperfect Sea
“Simon Jeffes’ Penguin Cafe Orchestra were charming and baffling in late ’70s UK music, mixing ambient, Balearic, drone, and more. Now Jeffes’ son is using the name with members of Gorillaz and Suede.”

Handfuls of Night
“There’s an interesting story behind Penguin Cafe’s latest album: it started life as a collection of songs commissioned by Greenpeace about penguins and the endangered seas of the Antarctic, and is further inspired by bandleader Arthur Jeffes’ own trip to the Arctic in 2005.
