We were promised a new Jetpacks album and they didn't lie

We Were Promised Jetpacks are set to release their new album ‘In The Pit Of The Stomach’ on October 3rd.

We Were Promised Jetpacks have been teasing fans for the past month. Retreating to Iceland to work on their new studio album, the Edinburgh band have released a series of short snippets online.

Now the group have decided to cut to the chase: new album ‘In The Pit Of The Stomach’ is set to be released on October 3rd.

Recorded in the hinterlands of the frozen island, We Were Promised Jetpacks completed their new album with help from Andrew Bush and Peter Katis. Taking place in Sigur Ros’ Sunlaugin Studios, the sessions were apparently an attempt to re-create their live sound.

“We recorded the debut album in 8 days with one short tour under our belts – this time around we spent a full three weeks in the studio recording with [live sound engineer] Andrew Bush and made an album that both captures the sound of our live show and is strong start to finish” explained frontman Adam Thompson.

Fancy a preview? New cut ‘Act On Impulse’ is available from the band’s official website HERE.

Meanwhile, We Were Promised Jetpacks have confirmed plans for a British tour. Opening in Dundee (obviously a band of great taste!) the dates run throughout September and October and move between Britain and the continent.

Ending in Manchester on October 14th, the tour hits London on October 12th for a show in XOYO. Tickets are on sale now.
