The Scottish quartet released a rollicking sophomore album this month and it is solid. If you enjoyed their debut in 2009 then this followup, In The Pit of the Stomach (amazon) (itunes), will fit nicely with your expectations. Although this album is a bit darker in nature it never strays too far from solid riffs and insanely addicting guitar melodies.

mp3 : We Were Promised Jetpacks – Act On Impulse
Circles and Squares is the opening track from the new album and from the very first second you can tell this is a slightly more grandiose version of We Were Promised Jetpacks. Act on Impulse is the fourth track from the album and I love how it builds slowly, patiently, resolutely refusing to be a three minute pop song. After repeated listens I think I enjoy this track so much because the underlying repeated guitar line sounds a lot like the guitar in The Past is a Grotesque Animal by Of Montreal.
Bottom line, solid album that easily escapes the prototypical sophomore slump.
