We Were Promised Jetpacks announce summer tour


Glasgow based We Were Promised Jetpacks have just announced a mini US summer tour in support of their latest album Unravelling, available via FatCat Records. Included are summer festival appearances at NYC’s Pier 84/ RiverRocks and Chicago’s Wicker Park Festival. See the upcoming dates below.

The band’s LP Unravelling was recorded at Glasgow’s Chem19 Studios in early 2014. The project’s producer Paul Savage has previously recorded with such diverse Scottish acts as Teenage Fanclub, King Creosote, The Twilight Sad, Franz Ferdinand and Mogwai.

The band welcomed a new member, multi-instrumentalist Stuart McGachan, for the making of the album. Singer Adam Thompson explains “Stuart is an accomplished keys, piano and guitar player as well as having a lovely little singing voice and with him we have tried to do something a little different with this selection of songs. We’ve known him for ages and played music with him before so we were pretty sure it would work out. It has just been the four of us since about April 2004 so having someone new with us has been an enjoyable part of the process.”
