Taking their name from a post-soviet satire by Ukrainian author Andrey Kurkov, Death and the Penguin have created their own brand of avant-garde alternative rock.
The London-based four-piece released their debut album, Anomie, on 27th July 2018 (Lonely Voyage Records). The album has received critical acclaim from the likes of Alt Dialogue (9/10) and Metal Injection (8/10) and features the singles Kill Saatchi ("a perfect equilibrium between disjointed key signatures and catchy instrumentals" - The Line of Best Fit) and Colour In Me ("a devastating bout of avant rock that breaks down barriers into tiny little pieces” - Clash Magazine).
The band have also received attention from the likes of Kerrang!, BBC Introducing and Artrocker and have been turning heads up and down the country with their finely tuned live show complete with soaring vocal harmonies, improbable instrumental gymnastics and relentless energy.
