We Were Promised Jetpacks – The More I Sleep The Less I Dream – Magenta Colored Vinyl LP, 2018

Sometimes you have to go back to basics in order to find yourself again. This is something Scottish rock band We Were Promised Jetpacks realized over the course of creating their fourth full-length album, The More I Sleep The Less I Dream. After the musicians finished touring 2014’s Unravelling, they decamped home to Scotland and took a breath. They reverted back to their original four members and dealt with several behind the scenes changes. They celebrated a few marriages and tried to remember who they were when not on the road. A decision was made. No more touring until a new album had been written. It wasn’t until early 2018 that they finally felt they had a collection of songs they were proud of.
