Penguin Party is the new project from Dave Milligan of critics' favourites ARCO (4 stars, Q Magazine; glowing write-ups in the Guardian, NME, Melody Maker and dozens more).

Milligan played in Reno & Rome (an early incarnation of NME favourites Animals That Swim) and in the 90s was one third of criminally under-exposed Pomp/Industrial nearly-men "Introversion". He's been in Arco since its inception, co-producing and playing on their three albums (including a US-only rarities compilation), which are available on labels based in the UK, US and South Korea. Penguin Party is an outlet for Milligan's immediate, accessible, spangly songs about everyday subjects like temptation, betrayal and mental illness, which don't fit Arco's gorgeous introspective sound.

All songs written and produced by Dave Milligan
except Lullaby which was written by Chris Healey
Beaten, Black & Blue which was written by Danny Scott
and United State of Grace which was written by Dave Milligan & Gareth Hall
