| We Were Promised Jetpacks - I Keep It Composed |
Release Date: 22nd September 2014
Scottish quintet We Were Promised
Jetpacks are one of those bands that I've always been aware of without ever
really taking the time to listen to them. I just assumed they be great because
their name is awesome and that's what really matters right? Wrong. Haven't you
been listening to anything I've been saying for the last few years? Luckily for
you, We Were Promised Jetpacks, are awesome. New single 'I Keep It Composed'
kicks straight in with a rolling, undulating bass line punctuated only by the
lazy tub thumping and sleepy vocals. And then things get turned up a notch.
Chunky, distorted guitars swirl ever upwards as the mood builds with elements
of Elbow, the National and Biffy Clyro all creeping in to the music from time
to time. The way I see it, if these guys were promised jetpacks then they
should get them on the strength of this single alone. Awesome stuff but that cover art is giving me a headache...
