New album coming soon by Penguin Cafe

Penguin Cafe announced their newest album to be released on July 7th, called ‘Rain Before Seven…’. It can be pre-ordered now and it will be available on CD, vinyls, and digitally.

The title comes from an old weather proverb with the rhyming prognostication — fine before eleven — hinting at a happy ending, irrespective of the science: “I found it in a book and I’d never heard it before,” says Arthur Jeffes, leader of Penguin Cafe. “It has faintly optimistic overtones and I quite like it. It’s fallen out of usage recently but it does describe English weather patterns coming in off the Atlantic.”
