We featured GoGo Penguin last year with their wonderful track The Antidote Is In The Poison. We were pleased to see them back with a new single, Glimmerings…
This ones a lovely downtempo vibe, with jazzy overtones provided by a wonderful bass, and some great piano adding melodic, ‘glimmering’ atmosphere…
Glimmerings is one of the first tracks recorded fro their album Everything Is Going to Be OK, and is inspired by Being You, a book by Professor Anil Seth…
“The word glimmerings stood out when I was reading a book by Anil Seth called ‘Being You’. The book is about the science of consciousness and in the Prologue, he talks about how ‘glimmerings of ideas began to emerge’. It felt like the perfect way to describe the process of thought and creativity. Glimmerings — one of the first songs we started on the new album – started from a small kernel on the synth and over time we added more and more layers until it became something a lot more complex. The idea behind the title is the very beginning, where there is only an idea and an intent to start with, but you have an aim and an idea, and you have to trust in the process.”
Nick Blacka (bass)
Glimmerings is available now and released by XXIM Records.
