Jack Penate

Born and bred in South-East London and from English/Spanish descent, Jack Penate came into the limelight in 2007, after being seen rubbing pop shoulders with fellow London-newcomers Kate Nash and Adele, on numerous occasions. His debut album, Matinee debuted in the top ten in October 2007.

Jack Penate - 'Matinee' After grabbing the public's attention by officially 'tearing it up on the platform' this summer, Mr Penate is ready to hurl the rest of the pack at them. Prepare yourself for a stampede of hip-shaking indie pop from one of the star discoveries of the year. Interface's Finn Eiles engineered a selection of tracks off 'Matinee', using Miloco's Square studio for both tracking and mixing.

When Jack Peñate spasmodically side-stepped on to the scene like an epileptic crab in 2006, detractors quickly lumped him in with the jangly Mockneys dominating indie clubs at the time, along with acts like pals The Maccabees and Kate Nash. Despite the irritatingly frenetic pace of his debut album, many listeners were moved to admit that somewhere beneath the non-stop knees-up lay the work of a genuinely gifted songwriter. And with Everything is New, he’s let that songwriter out of the armlock and off the dancefloor, where he’s crafted a considered yet catchy collection of blue-eyed future soul. That affected London whine has been abandoned somewhere in a Hoxton basement and replaced with a more natural, Robert Smith-like croon. Producer Paul “Phones” Epworth has created a warm, expansive environment to win over the coldest of critics, and highlights like the title track or Tonight’s Today represent a mature and eminently likeable new Jack Peñate.
