Jack Peñate

UK first press 2009. Record and sleeve EX. 2009 sophomore album from the British Indie singer/songwriter. For this second album Jack decided to rip it up and start again. Recorded over twelve intense months in producer Paul Epworth'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. It is a Technicolor record full of experimentation and possibility. Featuring the blissed-out house grooves of first single 'Tonight's Today' and swaggering soul of anthemic '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, Basement, Afrobeat, lo-fi Hip Hop, Gospel, Reggaeton and Philly Soul into the mix over a nine track record that delights and surprises at every turn.
