About

Penguin Café’s music has infiltrated daily life from films
like Napoleon Dynamite to countless theme tunes, and
they’ve played festivals from Bestival and The Big Chill
to the Royal Albert Hall as part of the BBC Proms. Their
sound is at once familiar and new, combining acoustic
power and a beguiling, feisty charm. Electronica meets
21st century jazz in Portico Quartet’s melodic, hookladen,
rhythmic music.
