The Last Place You'll Look

2009 saw We Were Promised Jetpacks storm the US from their native Edinburgh, releasing debut These Four Walls to widespread love. Early 2010 finds the lads gearing up for their first headlining US tour, as well as releasing The Last Place You'll Look, a five-song EP featuring three new songs and two alternate versions of tracks from These Four Walls. The new EP is quieter, more drawn out, using strings and piano where the album focuses on distorted guitars and big drum sounds. This alternate sonic palette reveals a no-less-appealing side of the band: less spiky and urgent, but with songwriting chops and melodic mastery to spare.
