Penguin Cafe share their latest single Galahad from their upcoming album Rain Before Seven… on Erased Tapes along with details of a UK tour later this year.

Galahad is a triumphant celebration of Arthur’s beloved dog who died, aged 16, written in an irrepressible 15/8 time signature.

Speaking about the track, Arthur explains; “I wrote this about my dog Gally, who lived to a great old age and was there for many important parts of my life — and I think it's more generally a piece about remembering friends and family who are no longer alive but are still a hugely positive part of one’s consciousness.”
