VINYL FORMAT. Everything is New, Jack Penate's second album, is a soul record. Recorded over twelve intense months in producer Paul Epworth's (Bloc Party, Friendly Fires) 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 an album full of technicolor experimentation and possibility. From the blissed-out house grooves of first single "Tonight's Today" and swaggering soul of anthemic new single "Be The One", the album fuses Penate's wide-eyed pop songwriting with the music he's always loved and lived. Everything is New successfully merges Brazilian Tropicalia, Krautrock, New Orleans marching bands, 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.
