Simon Jeffes & BBC Concert Orchestra - ‘Still Life’ at the Penguin Cafe
Decca
1990
“I wasn’t aware until then that our shared near-death experience in France propelled Simon to dream up a place called the Penguin Cafe, where penguins serve the Japanese soul food that is Okonomiyaki and wine that makes you feel lighter, float even—a colourful, magical place far away from those big grey buildings where everyone is neutral, numb and anonymous.”
Fantastic tune from an also fantastic band that once was an avant-pop band led by English guitarist Simon Jeffes This is just pure magic Enjoy
In honor of the entire Penguin Cafe Orchestra studio discography coming back into print on vinyl, here are some PCO album covers and their associated paintings by Emily Young.
Music for a cold early December evening.
