THE third album by the Scottish rockers We Were Promised Jetpacks builds on their already sturdy catalogue.

Musically, WWJ’s their style features characteristic pounding rhythmic drums, a counter rhythm by a bouncing bassline, and guitars veering between finepoint accompaniment and overwhelming noise, all overlaid with Adam Thompson’s thick Glaswegian voice.

Opening well with Safety In Numbers, it segues into Peaks And Troughs and I Keep It Composed, each working well individually and creating a coherent album, but occasionally coming off a little Biffy Clyro. Not a bad thing admittedly, but replacing their epic choruses with sweeping verses and driving grungey solos.

The album continues in much the same way, with the occasional welcome surprise – guitars sounding like fiddly synth keys at the opening of Night Terror, for example, which goes dark and stays dark, making an album highpoint.

Disconnecting shares that darkness, with rickety snares and cymbals; slow, ominous bass notes and downbeat echoing vocals which seem to be building to a breakout chorus that never comes, further adding to that sense of unease. Well worth a listen.
