The video for “Never Gets Old” features Chris and his real grandpa, Ross Glover, packing in every type of activity one can think of doing at a retirement community (aqua aerobics, bingo, racing around on a golf cart, karaoke, croquet and bocce ball) and ending with Grandpa Glover on the DJ decks.
Says Chris: “I wanted to make a music video with my 90-year-old grandpa who lives in a retirement community in Florida since the song is called ‘Never Gets Old.’ He is a really cool guy–he was in World War II and received three purple hearts and now he plays bocce everyday and rides around in a two-person bicycle with his wife Alice.Chris elaborates: “The concept is that I live at the retirement community in the house next to my grandpa and we do all kinds of crazy activities everyday. Later on we bust out in a convertible and drive to Miami and crash a pool party. Making this video was a good excuse for me to go visit my grandpa and do a bunch of crazy things with him and document it all on film. When we were driving around Miami in the Mustang, the top was down and then there was a torrential downpour out of nowhere. My grandpa got drenched but he thought it was funny to tell everyone about it later.”

The next movement in the PENGUIN PRISON framework, LOST IN NEW YORK is where Glover finds himself through new and old inspirations. On the new full length album, the hustle and bustle of the city comes alive. From the vintage glam of NYC’s storied disco heyday, all the way through to the bohemian rhapsody of modern Brooklyn, LOST IN NEW YORK is a cultural time-capsule dedicated to the greatest city on the planet as told via Glover‘s intimate storytelling and personal brand of electro-pop.LOST IN NEW YORK includes “Calling Out,“ the album’s lead single co-written with DJ/production duo Oliver,ofwhich SPIN.com noted, “A huge welcome comeback…Hits all the pop pleasure centers.”; the second single, “Never Gets Old,” co-written with Amanda Warner and Peter Wade of the electronic duo MNDR; and the newly released track “Try To Lose.” LOST IN NEW YORK is available digitally and on vinyl viaiTunes, Amazon, Google Play, Beatport, SoundCloud, Spotify, and vinyl.
