Jack Penate Seeks To Inspire, Comfort With 'After You'

Soundcheck | Mar 5, 2020

British singer-songwriter Jack Penate gets spiritual with soul and mysticism, and throws down raw emotion with pop polish. He reflects about his decade of hiatus and cites his inspirations: Turkish and Iranian psychedelic music as well as the influence of powerful classic gospel by the Chicago Pastor T. L. Barrett and his youth-focused ministry. Also, he talks about scouting the dramatic cliffs, stone quarry, and cave in Dorset as part of the video shoot for "Murder," and poetry by his grandfather, Mervyn Peake. Jack Penate plays stripped-down arrangements of songs from his latest record, in-studio. - Caryn Havlik
