For all of you who bemoan the demise of cover notes and those fabulous pull out bits of Album sleeves that we used to pour over in our youth, welcome to "Sex furniture Warehouse and other Stories" by the essex based band The Penguin Party. The album comes packaged in its own book which includes the lyrics and photographs that provide a witty nod to the quirky-pop, quirky-clever, and sometimes quirkily-dark album within.
You won't find a band surprised that hearts get broken or that teenage boys like cars. What you will find is crafted power-pop sneakily wrapped round life stories from a bunch of guys who lived and, sort of, learnt. If you've got a middle-aged hangover again (and who hasn't) try "It's Not Big". If you've fallen in love with your wife all over again after bringing up kids together try "Song For My Old Lady" and if you've ever thought your Dad did a great job just being your dad or you are a transvestite roofer, then try "Roofer's Daughter"
This is just a great English band telling great stories that will catch in your head make you go "yeah I know what you mean"
This album probably won't change the world or even your life, but it'll probably make you laugh and make you feel just a bit better about not being a teenage boy with a broken heart who likes cars.

The Penguin Party's album; - Sex Furniture Warehouse and Other Stories - is really good. If you don't believe me just ask the band. They love it ! And they're not the only ones. Their friends like it too. In fact I defy any one (who's heard it) NOT to like it. From the first 'Ooooh!' of the quirky 'At Home With Mr Trebus' (a man who lives in a Furniture Warehouse) to the final 'Thank You Very Much' of 'It's Just Your Life Time' this album oozes fun and lovable charm. With catchy songs, witty; funny lyrics and precise musicianship it is a treat for the ears. Dave Milligan's unique observations of the world around him ring bells of familiarity to every middle class, mid-life-crisis'd, middle-age-spreaded British male (even the cross-dressing ones). The album will give you a bigger buzz than Mike Leigh-on-Ecstasy.Sex Furniture Warehouse & Other Stories
