Now a Jack Penate picture disc which is part 2 of some contrived "set". Not really sure what to say really. Its like a cross between Jamie T with Housemartins style guitar chords (think happy hour). Sounds a bit Finley Quaye. Public school boy busker quips Mingus. So thin and whimsical it floats off our turntable like a frisbee. Torn On The Platform is on CD too!!

His recent, debut release for XL Recordings – the single ‘Spit At Stars’ – wowed many and showcased to the nation a genuine, exciting raw talent for the first time; the accompanying video carved up TV plays a plenty, he got immense support from Radio 1 and XFM (it was made Jo Whiley’s Single of the Week and was never off Zane Lowe’s deck).
·Not one to hang around, his next release is here - ‘Torn On The Platform’ - and is already a firm favourite with his fans and a highlight of his entrancing live set - a set that has reached well beyond his London confines with his last touring schedule reaching in excess of sixty sold out dates in as many days. Heartfelt and impassioned, ‘Torn On The Platform’, (as the title suggests) finds Jack himself on a train, leaving a town he’s not sure he wants to leave. In just four minutes of pop brilliance, the questions of his racing mind pour out on to an open page and one of the countries best new lyricists is born. The single is completed with brand new tracks, ‘Silence In Speech’, ‘Roll Your Own Dice’ and ‘On The Road’, all being made available over the various formats of the record (CD Single and two 7” vinyl singles).
·The two seven inch singles are intended to form a ‘set’ – 7”A has a wide spine and ‘barn door’ sleeve’ to house 7” B (a picture disc).
