My love of We Were Promised Jetpacks (Facebook/Twitter) has been rather well stated on here, but here we’ve got the first track their sophmore release In the Pit of the Stomach. I may have been on holiday when news of this dropped, but with a song like this I still had to write it up.
Act On Impulse see the band keep their signature thumping builds and crescendos, all beneath the fragile Scottish-accent of Adam Thompson. They recorded the whole album at Sigur Ros’ Sundlaugin Studios in the frozen plains of Iceland and that bleak setting appears to have only strengthened their sounds of brutal desperation.
We Were Promised Jetpacks – In the Pit of the Stomach is due to be released on Fat Cat Records on 3rd October.
