      Over a decade into their genre-skirting journey, Manchester's GoGo Penguin return with Necessary Fictions, a soft and progressive post-punk musing on an unsettling anthropological concept. While still grounded in the interplay of Chris Illingworth's piano, Nick Blacka's bass and Jon Scott's drums, the record now brings modular synths, string players from the Manchester Collective, and - for the first time ever - a voice: Daudi Matsiko, who appears on 'Forgive The Damages', offers a quietly disarming presence in a band known for its instrumentals. 'Fallowfield Loops' offers a familiar taste, meanwhile, of the band's inceptive grooves, while its music video visually centres on the uni-nostalgic Toast Rack building in the heart of Manchester's student quarter.
