To celebrate Jack Penate's upcoming UK tour, XL are streaming his latest album Everything Is New. An Australian tour is not yet on the cards for Mr.Penate, but in the meantime you can stream his entire album in full, or better yet, get the real deal here!
Mr Peñate just seems to be getting better and better.
His second album, the very aptly titled Everything Is New takes his music in a completely new direction by exploring his ever expansive range of influences.
We've already showed you the afro-beat infused Tonight's Today as well as the hella catchy Be The One.
Now we have the video for the third single Pull My Heart Away which has also been picked up as iTunes single of the week, Follow the link for a free download!
The clip was shot in filmed in Jordan in the Middle East using a Super 8.
Take a peek!
Everything Is New is out now through XL/Remote Control.
When he was last here Jack Peñate was, by his own admission, a kid. A south London bedroom-boy-with-acoustic-guitar. He ducked, he dived, he played the Rhythm Factory, rockin’ the scenesters. And rockin’ the charts: his debut album, 2007’s top ten Matinée, went gold; the single, Torn On The Platform, entered the charts at Number 7. Good stuff, but not great stuff. Not stirring, take-your-head-off stuff. Jack knew this. But the truth didn’t hurt; it liberated him.
So for his second album Jack decided to rip it up and start again. Totally start again. Total honesty, absolute vision, complete control.
The result is Everything Is New , a soul record. Recorded over twelve intense months in producer Paul Epworth (Bloc Party, Friendly Fires)’s own west London home studio, Everything Is New is a giant musical leap forward from this 24 year old Londoner’s acclaimed debut album. Everything Is New is a technicolour record full of experimentation and possibility. Featuring the blissed-out house grooves of first single Tonight’s Today and swaggering soul of anthemic new single Be The One, the album fuses Peñate’s wide-eyed pop songwriting with the music he’s always loved and lived, successfully bringing Brazilian Tropicala, Krautrock, New Orleans marching bands, Bashment, Afrobeat, lo-fi Hop Hop, Gospel, Reggaeton and Phily Soul into the mix over a nine track record that delights and surprises at every turn.
So here it is. Nine tracks. No filler. An ambitious, timeless, lo-fi soul record. Everything Is New.
Tracklisting: 1. Pull My Heart Away 2. Be The One 3. Everything Is New 4. Tonight's Today 5. So Near 6. Every Glance 7. Give Yourself Away 8. Let's All Die 9. Body Down
And here is the video for Jack Peñate's new single Be The One, out now.
After the lovely, summery afrobeat tune that was Tonight’s Today, we get one step closer to Jack Penate’s new album Everything Is New with his latest single Be The One.
This song is hella-catchy; just try not to sing along.
A hearty concoction of pop, soul and a bit of disco, Be The One is testament to the fact that Jack has well and truly grown up on this new record. No cutesy wide-eyed indie pop here. Everything Is New is due out June 27th through XL/Remote Control.
Whether or not you’ve heard Jack Penate before you really should check this out. It’s a different and bold sound from the guy (and more power to him cos his debut album went platinum so he could have easily just come through with more of the same). In fact NME have touted this as the “The first great single of 2009”. It’s the first taste of his yet to be named second album, it’s produced by Paul Epworth (Friendly Fires, Bloc Party) and the closest hint we can give ya about what it sounds like is kinda Peter Gabriel when he was a pop star back in the late 80s with mutating afrobeat guitars undulating in the mix.
UK pop wunderkind Jack Peñate's second album (his follow up to the very catchy Matinee) is due out later this year. With anticipation growing, we’re here to satisfy your need to put on your dancing shoes by offering you an extended mix of his new single Tonight's Today. Have a listen!
Following on from his ridiculously catchy debut album Matinee, released late last year, UK's pop darling Jack Peñate returns with his new single Tonight's Today.
The single just debuted on BBC Radio 1's Zane Lowe show as his 'Hottest Record In The World'. Hear why for yourself:
