Penguin Café – Chapter (Erased Tapes)
Penguin Cafe - Chapter
Release Date: Out Now
It’s not often that something
comes along with such completeness, such beauty and endless possibilities but,
then again, it’s not often that a musical outfit is passed down from father to
son so maybe that has something to do with the uniqueness in this. Arthur
Jeffes’ father created the Penguin Café Orchestra in the 1970s and now, with
the Orchestra trimmed off, Penguin Café have a new album on the horizon but
first we must feast upon the sumptuous smorgasbord that is new single ‘Chapter’.
Now, I must urge you to watch the video for this one (and I mean properly watch
it) when you listen to the music as the two go hand in hand perfectly. You see,
as the image appears from the gloom and the tune clatters and scatters into
life, we are off, hoisted above the streets of New York on a cable car and on
the swelling strings of this tune. Gently played piano notes, the aforementioned
strings and some entrancingly skittish percussion makes for a moody, undeniably
cinematic and utterly glorious piece of, well, art. As you watch New York’s skyline
unfold behind the cable car and the music takes you from uplifting euphoria to
foreboding storms I would gladly bet that you’ll either be moved to tears or engrossed
in a video that reveals small and seemingly new secrets with every watch. This
is just an enormously beautiful thing to behold and I want you all to share in
the beauty with me. Go on, you deserve it.
