Jack Penate's second album is awesome and The XX made one of the debut's of the year. The two come together on Jamie from the XX's remix of the new Penate single "Pull my Heart Away", one of the highlights of the new album. He adds in that lo-fi sound which is commonplace on "The XX" as well as some great subtle bass. One of the best remixes i've heard in a while. DL below.

Jack Peñate returns with the second single (Be the one) from his new album entitled Everything is New out next month.

Summer 2007 I got a bit obsessed with Jack Peñate's Spit at Stars EP and the demos that had been released building up for his debut, Matinee. Matinee was then hugely disappointing, the old demos sounded shit on the album. But he's returned with something different and new, and its promising. Tonights Today, released in March, is brilliant, and so is the follow up single, Be The One....here is Be the One.
