In many slipway, Jack Penate is Lily Allen minus the satire and the party frocks. The South Londoner's music is glossy, radio-ready pop, simply its center is frozen in the Two-Tone ska revival and the more soulful end of '80s pop, along the lines of the Style Council and the Housemartins. Add in Penate's impinging vocal resemblance to the loretta Young Billy Bragg and he's like the postmillennial equivalent weight to the U.K. pupil discos of deuce decades antecedently. Jack Fabian Penate (beingness of Spanish descent, his cognomen is pronounced "Pen -- yah -- TAY," not "Pen -- ate") was innate in Blackheath, a fair swish London suburbia, on September 9, 1984. While smooth in his teens, Penate formed a band called Jack's Basement, which besides featured his classmate Felix White, later lead guitar player for neo-Brit-pop play the Maccabees. When that group broke up as its members went off to different universities, Penate began a solo career, backed by bassist Joel Porter and drummer Alex Robins. While development a substantial live next due in enceinte section to his phrenetic onstage dance, Penate signed with the Young Turks label and released his debut undivided "Second, Minute or Hour" (each of the thousand limited edition vinyl copies containing a Polaroid self-portrait of the artist) in the fall of 2006. The single's favorable buzz allowed Penate to derail to the bigger indie XL Recordings for his beginning EP, Spit at Stars, released in the spring of 2007.
