Tonight in Seattle:  

The best new album we haven't heard yet: We Were Promised Jetpacks

What a tease!

Due out this fall, We Were Promised Jetpacks' next release is sure to be an absolute doozy. In fact, based off of the nearly worn-out copy of 2009's These Four Walls, we're pretty confident in stating that it's going to be a contender for album of the year on our best-of 2011 lists. And that's having heard nothing more than the few dozen notes from this trailer.

***UPDATE***

WWPJ has set release and tour dates for the new album! AND: you can get yourself a copy of the first song released of it here, at WeWerePromisedJetpacks.com {!!!!!}.

Don't believe us? Take a re-listen to this little gem, "Quiet Little Voices"...

And the gorgeous "It's Thunder And It's Lightning" from their trip to MFNW:

Yep. It's that band. You'll hear more the minute we do, promise!

*LIKE* button.

for sers. *BARFS ON SHOES WITH JOY* button!
Gah! Preview clips!!!!! Sounds super promising tho, can't wait!
This is exciting!
I think I've tried to go see them the last two times they've been in town and I'm always too late in getting tickets, so hopefully with a new album will come another tour and this time I won't slack!
UPDATE-
Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyCIZBLHagA&feature=player_embedded
Sounds pretty good so far.
