Amazon.co.uk Review
It’s a bit of a surprise after such an exaggerated run (we’re talking Ministry of Silly Walks standard) of arresting releases, not to mention the wired, enthused judders of his live shows, that chipper songwriter Jack Penate’s debut album is so very reclined. We’re not really saying things are mellow, not much, because Matinee does keep its head above water. But the wholesome Housemartins by Graham Coxon ska-dunked pop giddiness of singles "Second, Minute or Hour" and the fabulous "Spit at Stars", both included here doing something positive with The Libertines’ legacy, are the exception rather than the rule. More typically we’re looking at tunes like "We Will Be Here" (see The Kooks), "Have I Been a Fool?" (Kate Nash) and "Got My Favourite" (unnervingly summery Britpop mascots Dodgy), which explore lonelier themes and are housed in safer musical environments, reverb-soaked strumming and melancholy the order of the day. But then at either far end of the scale we have "Torn on the Platform" tearing up the downhearted foundation with rebellious abandon, covering his full range in the process, and "My Yvonne", a dainty and beautifully introverted four minutes. So it is at least true that he doesn’t much stand still--he covers most bases available to him and he covers them confidently. Given time he might even graduate from the matinee slot. --James Berry
