Rain Before Seven - Penguin Cafe (2023)

I’ve written a couple times about Simon Jeffes’ Penguin Cafe Orchestra (O_oo_O), but not about his son Arthur’s modern take on the same ideas, simply called Penguin Cafe.

This modern version is a lot less out of place than the original, since the world is now full of dreamy landscape music blending folk, classical, jazz, and new age. Still very much worth a listen.
