After sharing his single "Turn It Up" back in November, Chris Glover (aka Penguin Prison) has followed up with his new single "Keep Coming Alive."

The glossy new track arrived Friday as the latest preview of Penguin Prison's upcoming Turn It Up EP, which is out on Feb. 9. The project is partly inspired by Glover's experience trying to navigate his art following the results of the 2016 election.

"On the night of November 8, 2016, I initially wondered how I could even keep being an artist," Glover says of the new track. "It seemed like making art was trivial at that moment. Upon further reflection I realized that, of course, the world needs people to make music and film and all kinds of art. It can get very hard to keep coming alive while it seems like the world is trying to cut you down. You have to keep reminding yourself every day."

In addition the new music, Penguin Prison is hitting the road this spring, with support from Mating Ritual and Little Monarch.
