Walk with the Penguin - Charm

Second album of Walk with the Penguin by a Japanese steelpanist Yoshio Machida and Serbian artists (ex. Cinc). The first album was regarded as post-rocktronica (Terrascope), "Cocorosie kind of homemade fun"(Folkpop reviews), "spring in your step"(Delusions of Adequacy). This second album has more new wave feeling. Recorded in Belgrade and Tokyo between March and July. Respected to spirit of some cool Yugoslavian New Wave band in 80s like Film, Aerodrom, Idoli, Paraf, etc, the sound changed to more rock beat music comparing to 1st album. Based on New Wave beat, tastes from various kind of music are combined; acoustic, funk, synthpop, poetry reading... Worked with talented guest musicians: Tatsuhisa Yamamoto (Jim O'Rourke band), Paranel (cool Japanese rapper), Misha (New York based artist, Tomlab), etc. Includes warm and nostalgic illustration booklet by Djordje Ilic.
