Man Made Object is the third album by jazz piano trio GoGo Penguin. It is their first of a three-album deal with the jazz label Blue Note.[3][4] Chris Illingworth, the band's pianist, has explained that the title of the album is partly inspired by his fascination with ideas of robotics, transhumanism and human augmentation.[3]

Critical reception

In his review, John Fordham said in

Pitchfork that "Man Made Object is tailor-made for laid-back enjoyment, to be consumed at a moderate volume without much fuss."[7]

The album charted at number 72 on the UK Albums Chart in February 2016.[8]
