it’s rushing through your veins / flooding your eyes
Jack Peñate is a London-based songwriter who put out one of my favourite albums of 2009 (Everything is New) and absolutely floored me when he opened for Miike Snow in Vancouver — although sadly, he hadn’t been heard from much since. The three year silence finally ended yesterday when he posted a link on his Twitter to a video of him performing a new track, “No One Lied,” by himself at home — and my god, did it ever strike a chord. Just a few hours later, Jack tweeted that he heard DJ Zane Lowe had already aired the track on BBC Radio 1. Jack’s new album doesn’t have a title or release date yet, but expect to see it hit the shelves sometime in 2012. It will be interesting to see what kind of transformation this song goes through in the meantime.
