We Were Promised Jetpacks, "Unravelling" (Fat Cat)

Anna Walsh

Complex, epic, and experimental indie.

Unravelling is the highly anticipated new album from favorite indie rockers We Were Promised Jetpacks, and it delivers. Airy crooning over simple and mellow melodies build into something much bigger on multiple tracks throughout the album.

Intricate basslines and heavy percussion are just some of the things that make Unravelling a complex and creative album. Electronic beats and a slight hint of noise rock give the album added depth, and hugely catchy riffs and choruses keep it mainstream-friendly.

Echoey vocals and a simple backing beat on “Disconnecting‰” show how We Were Promised Jetpacks are able to craft unique and engaging songs with pure musicianship.

Unravelling seems like it has catapulted the band into a new, experimental, and impressive era.
