Pentimento formed in London around 2010, playing a kind of indie rock that leaned toward the introspective. Their first album was called 'The Education of a Gentleman.' It didn't sell much, but they kept at it on the road, slowly gathering listeners who connected with the mood.
Things shifted with their second album, 'First Comes the Night,' in 2013. The single 'Happens To The Best Of Us' from that record caught on, its bittersweet feel finding a wider audience. Other songs like 'Again' and 'All The While' became part of their set.
Around that time, an unreleased track called 'The Fire' leaked online and led to some messy plagiarism claims. The band denied it, but the noise was hard to shake. They kept making music after that, though the story from their catalog gets thinner.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
