    David Bash of IPO says, (and he should know), “Wow, on their latest album, ‘Sunday Carvery’, London’s Emperor Penguin really toughen up their sound, borrowing a few shillings from late ‘60s UK psych and ‘90s Britpop, all the while retaining, and perhaps even bettering, their well-honed contemporary melodic sensibilities. A very pleasant surprise!”

    “A cracking listen... a fabulous album.” I Don’t Hear a Single

    "Sunday Carvery is a 13 course meal that you simply do not want to miss.” Powerpop News

    'EMPEROR PENGUIN comes out of the lockdown with their best record. SUNDAY CARVERY is British through and through, like The Kinks, Elvis Costello, or XTC, but don’t expect a retro sound; the band is firmly rooted in the present tense.' Sweet Sweet Music

    “If you love rock and roll... you WILL want a copy of this.” Michael L DeAngelis, There Once Was a Note.

    "Space-age sonics meet new-wave psychedelia...Crowded with electrifying moments, Sunday Carvery finds Emperor Penguin bingeing on an assortment of musical condiments aimed to satisfy audiences with adventurous appetites." Something Else Reviews

lyrics

We’ve been under the weather,
looking for comfort despite the cold
We can make it together,
turn a silver lining to gold
Scrimp and scrape,
life’s a struggle these days,
let’s escape - maybe that would help

“Let me take you on holiday”
That’s what you said in your stupid way
Did you think I’d melt in the sun,
and our troubles would fade away to none?
“Let me take you on holiday”
You promised me we would get away
And now I’m stuck in a cheap hotel,
it looks like hell, I wish I was at home

New York or Paris, the moon or Atlantis.
You choose, I really do not mind
As long as I’m with you then please understand this
It’s all the same, I know your game come rain or shine

Cheer up love, there’s a barbecue by the pool
I’m sick of sausages and you...
“Let me take you on holiday”
You’re only here for the Beaujolais
You only wanted to hit the bar,
three San Miguels and you’ll bid me au revoir
“Let me take you on holiday”
I didn’t want to come anyway
And now I’m burnt like the barbecue,
I’m red and blue,
I wish you were not here...

“Let me take you on holiday”
Oh lucky me and I get to pay
Two lousy weeks by the sea with you,
to be honest I’d rather be alone
“Let me take you on holiday”
maybe you should just go a-way
You can send me a postcard, with your fond regards,
next time I’ll stay at home
