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!!
Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
What their label says...
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).
