This album is about shaking off these projected lenses of the past and taking steps to become our authentic selves. Our best effort at speaking honestly about who we are at this moment in time.

We hope you enjoy it. GGP x

Shout out to the amazing recording/production team of Joe Reiser and Brendan Williams who’ve been on this journey with us for so long but somehow keep getting better.

Necessary Fictions are the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves to help us navigate through life.

Very special “big ups” to Daudi Matsiko. We’ve been talking about collaborating for a long time & we finally did it! Thank you to Rakhi Singh & Manchester Collective. Working together felt so natural & we were buzzing to hear the arrangements being played live in the studio at The Arch.

It was a pleasure to work with Rakhi in the studio; hearing the arrangements come to life was an absolute joy for us and we’re very proud to have Manchester Collective on our record. Pre-order/save here: gogopenguin.lnk.to/necessaryfic...

We’d like to thank you all for such a positive response to the three singles we’ve released so far, and we can’t wait to share the rest of it with you very soon: gogopenguin.lnk.to/necessaryfic...

Making a record is a team effort, and we’re very lucky to have had our long-time sound engineers and co-producers Joe Reiser and Brendan Williams in the studio. Their combined set of skills and understanding of what we’re trying to achieve are second to none.

It’s been a joy to collaborate with some incredible artists & friends on this record, including Daudi Matsiko, Rakhi Singh & Manchester Collective. These collaborations felt so natural and easy and we’re really proud to have them both feature on our album.
