Penguin Prison is New York City electro pop singer, musician, producer and remixer Chris Glover.
His first attemps into the music business – singing in a gospel choir with Alicia Keys (with whom he shared a classroom), playing in punk groups in lower Manhattan, forming a boy band called the Smartest People At Bard (a crossover between the Beastie Boys and N-Sync) and a hip-hop venture that piqued Q-Tip's interest – didn't exactly set the world on fire.
Then came 2009. Glover started posting some rough tracks online and began to receive some serious amount of attention via his MySpace page.
His first single Animal, Animal recorded with mostly analogue equipment, has been compared with everyone from Hot Chip to '80s synth-icon Howard Jones.
Something I'm Not is his latest double a-side 7-inch for Neon Gold that precedes an album that's due later this year. The video was taken from footage of skype conversations between Roman and Chris Glover.
