Jack Peñate’s debut 2007’s Matinée was the gurning face of the skiffle-pop holocaust, an album as wide of the mark as its author was wide of visage. Since then Jack’s upped his game, looking beyond Camden’s piss-reeking dives for inspiration and tabling an unlikely ace with Everything Is New’s African-influenced pop. ‘Tonight’s The Night’ and ‘Be The One’, especially, are worthy summer soundtrack anthems, should you require a crutch for your enjoyment of the seasons.
