While 2017 left many of us speechless, Christopher Glover of Penguin Prison is speaking louder than ever. His forthcoming EP Turn It Up—from which we’ve already heard the titular lead single and its remixes—works with heavier messages than some of his previous work. That said, the EP still contains the DJ and producer’s signature sound: a blended cocktail of speedy guitar licks, bouncy pop melodies, disco-tinged percussion, sweet and sour vocal manipulation and upbeat bass, all molded into a cohesively sunny yet sophisticated addition to his repertoire.
