Hailing from Glasgow, Scotland, We Were Promised Jetpacks brings a fresh new sound to the encompassing genre of indie rock with their first studio album, <em>These Four Walls<\/em>. Putting this CD into your sound system of choice will introduce you to the stunning vocals of the band\u2019s lead singer and guitarist, Adam Thomson. The level of emotion that comes out of his voice, accompanied by his very nonintrusive Scottish accent, allows him to create a variety of atmospheres, varying from very high energy, to sweet, soft, and mellow. The album itself is extremely well compiled, showcasing the band\u2019s artistic range through the variety of tracks. From the first song, \u201cIt\u2019s Thunder and It\u2019s Lightning,\u201d with it\u2019s somber melody and compelling lyrics, to the more odd and upbeat, \u201cAn Almighty Thud,\u201d the listener is exposed to the musical talent and genius of the band. I would highly recommend this album to anyone looking for a new and interesting sound, or maybe just a change of pace, and I hope to hear a lot more from these guys in the future.
