Jack Penate is the very definition of British acoustic rock music. After having phenomenal success with the release of his first album ‘Matinee’ [which went gold], it looks like we may be in the process of seeing history repeat itself with the release of this brilliant follow up titled ‘Everything’s New’.

After having spent a gruelling 12 months creating this brilliant follow up album with producer Paul Epworth (Paul has worked on such artists as Bloc Party), it seems it wasn’t time wasted as all the hard work and mind blowing ideas have come across clearly in the final result.

‘Everything’s New’ is one of those albums you can just tell was made by a London artist from the second you press play, with every track sounding like something that would dominate the Jules Holland show. Having grown and advanced a lot musically since his first studio album, ‘Everything’s New’ reaches out and seems to sample from all walks of musical life and gives a new approach and a whole new spin on the almost boring Acoustic style we have grown accustom to through the mainstream media.

Every track seems to be experimental to the acoustic genre in its own special way. The track ‘Be The One’ is a Indie classic from start to finish, while the darker titled ‘Lets All Die’ seems to possess a kind of old, gritty quality making this easily the most "punk" anthems of the bunch. ‘Everything’s New’ seems to offer something different with each song as the albums progresses, from the dance like drums present on most tracks. There are even occasional ‘Mika’ sounding vocals that pop up now and then, which helps re-iterate the sheer eclectic nature of 'Everything's New' that we don’t tend to hear in your acoustic centric artists and the associated work they release.

‘Everything’s New’ tends to do exactly what it says on the tin when compared to Penate’s debut. As I said earlier, its definitely one of those obviously British released albums, with vocals similar to that of Paul Weller in most parts to a lot of other British indie rock acts such as Bloc Party, let's just say it's not without familiarity. However, I don’t think this is a bad thing. This second release from the 24 year old is packed with radio friendly hits that I’m sure will go down a storm with all fans of music in general.

‘Everything’s New’ seems to be right up there with the works of some of the top acts today, making it that much easier to see what the future holds for Jack Penate.
