The new EP by GoGo Penguin marks an important chapter of the band with the new member, drummer Jon Scott, who joined pianist Chris Illingworth and bassist Nick Blacka. The project was recorded at Peter Gabriel’s Real World Studios after the lockdown at the end of 2021.A chance to explore new ideas and experiment, as they expanded the range of sounds and voices within the tracks, and the Eurorack modular and Moog synths found their places between their signature piano, double-bass, and drums on tracks like Badeep, Wave Decay and Lost in Thought. Another feature which brought something new to the recording was the Palm Mute Pedal developed by Danish pianist Otto Sammy. Otto sent the band a prototype which would feature on both The Antidote Is in the Poison and Wave Decay.There is always a degree of abstraction in GoGo Penguin tracks and their titles, leaving the listener to make their interpretations and find their own emotional response. However, there is also always an underlying idea personal to them that inspires the compositions and is core to the writing process. The music on Between Two Waves takes its inspiration from the duality found in the major events in human lives.
