Penguin Prison
Lost in New York
(Downtown Records)
Music producer and Upper East Side native Penguin Prison is probably best known for his track “Don’t Fuck With My Money,†a song he wrote prior to the Occupy Wall Street protests in 2011, but a track that was heavily associated with the movement and also included on his self-titled debut.
From beginning to end, Chris Glover takes listeners on a dance-worthy ride of synth pop-heavy tunes with sleek production and club vibes from “Try to Lose†to “Calling Out†(which reminds me of Hall and Oates’ “Say It Isn’t Soâ€) to the funkiness of “Stop Moving†and closing track “In the Woods.†What’s so special about Lost in New York? Once the album is over; you immediately want to play it again.
