Scottish indie rock kings We Were Promised Jetpacks are releasing their first new album in four years next month. The More I Sleep the Less I Dream, releases via Big Scary Monsters on September 14th. Watch the first video for the new single, ‘Repeating Patterns’, right now.
The band comments:
“Repeating Patterns is one of the first songs we wrote for this album. It’s been getting a great reception at our shows and has become a really important song for us. Our goal when recording was to not tame it and keep it as raw and raucous as it is live.
“We only first saw the video a few days ago and we absolutely love it. Thanks to Mathew Marchlewski, Adam Keene, Poppy Garcia & Ashley Spencer for making such a perfect video. We hope everyone enjoys listening to it as much as we enjoy playing it.”
Guitarist Mike Palmer adds:
“The album is so much about us going back to our basics and relying on our instincts.There’s a range of songs that span everything we do as a band, and we’re the connection between them. It feels like this album is us.”
Produced by Jonathan Low (The National, Sufjan Stevens, Kurt Vile, The War on Drugs), the album was recorded over the course of five weeks at Minor Street in Philadelphia and Long Pond in New York’s Hudson Valley in early 2018.
