JACK PENATE Everything Is New (2009 Taiwanese High Note issue 9-track CD album - recorded over 12 intense months in producer Paul Epworth [Bloc Party, Friendly Fires]'s own west London home studio, '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 'Be The One', the album fuses Jack's wide-eyed pop songwriting with the music he's always loved andlived, successfully bringing Brazilian Tropicalia, Krautrock, New Orleans marching bands, Bashment, Afrobeat, lo-fi Hop Hop, Gospel, Reggaeton and Philly Soul into the mix over a nine track record that delights and surprises at every turn; presented in sealed & stickered metallic-embossed picture sleeve with lyric booklet)
