Just a lovely Penguin Cafe song - inspired by journeys to Antarctica

Penguin Cafe have a new song 'At The Top Of The Hill, They Stood...' inspired by journeys taken by the band's leader Arthur Jeffes to Antarctica. The song comes out October 4 on album 'Handfuls Of Night' (listen below). The album began its life when Jeffes was commissioned by Greenpeace to write four pieces of music about four different breeds of penguin. They went on to become the core of the new album, the Quietus reports. There's a lot of family connections here - Jeffes is the son of Penguin Cafe Orchestra's Simon Jeffes (PCO is the original Penguin band), and the British Antarctic explorer in the Antarctic explorer Robert Falcon Scott was married to his great grandmother before she married my his grandfather. In 2005, Jeffes took part in an expedition re-creating Robert Falcon Scott’s last Antarctic trip in 1911, complete with Edwardian equipment.
