It's no secret that the primary constituent of my musical diet is electro-pop but, every once in a while, something catches my attention that doesn't necessarily fit into this category.Take, for example, Scottish indie outfit We Were Promised Jetpacks. Rather astonishingly, the best thing about this band is not their name.
Lead-singer Adam Thompson's vocals, delivered in a thick Scottish accent, are a refreshing alternative to the current crop of Cockney crooners dominating the indie scene. The band's infectious guitar-driven ditties, meanwhile, leave me with little choice but to bop around my bedroom like... some sort of frantic bopping device.
I've been listening to the band's first single 'Quiet Voices' on repeat:
According to reports, there are plenty of equally brilliant tracks on the band's eponymous album, which was released earlier this week.
