New album on the cards from Electric Penguins

The band's second album, aptly named II, is due out at the end of the month

Electric Penguins' sophomore offering II is set for a digital download release on September 24. A CD and vinyl release will follow on October 8, on Talking Tiger Records. Its first single, 'Highgate Hill' is available to download now on iTunes.

This self-recorded album, the Penguins tell us, is a "12 track feast of psychedelic cuts, which slides dreamily between electronic, folk and ambient soundscapes, with acoustic and club elements dispersed throughout the record." Quite the mouthful!

Hot Press has given the band's live performance the thumbs up - Adrienne Murphy remarked of their Button Factory performance earlier this year that the band "weave a remarkably rich audio tapestry".

Upcoming shows include Dublin's Busyfeet Café on South William Street (Saturday September 25), and an appearance at this year’s HWCH festival in Sweeneys, Dame Streeton Friday October 8.
