I WISH MIKE TYSON WAS MY FRIEND.

We first introduced you to the pop magician that is NYC’s Penguin Prison last month by way of his magnificent remix of Marina & The Diamonds‘ “I Am Not A Robot”, but now its time to crane your neck to marvel at the brilliant heights reached by his very own original material. His remixes ably establish him as one of the most exciting new production talents in the game, but its his songwriting and vocal abilities that make him stand out as the total package, a one man pop machine on the precipice of absurdly great things. “Animal Animal” is his first offering and a mighty fine one at that, bouncing along on a playful mix of buoyant synths, sunny melodies and fantastical ambition. It’ll be finding it’s way in to the world as one half of a rather exciting AA-side single this autumn on Neon Gold, but we just couldn’t wait that long to share it’s sublime pleasures with you here. We’re pretty sure the internet’s not ready, but here goes nothing.
