[Exclusive] We Were Promised Jetpacks frontman Adam Thompson details new album 'The More I Sleep The Less I Dream'

The Scottish indie rockers' frontman discusses how the band scrapped an entire album, working with producer Jonathan Low, losing label-mate Sott Hutchison and more.
UPDATED SEP 15, 2018

This Friday, Scottish indie-rockers We Were Promised Jetpacks make their comeback with the new album, 'The More I Sleep, The Less I Dream.' The band's fourth full-length studio effort comes a full four years after their psychedelic-tinged 2014 album 'Unravelling.'

A lot has transpired since then and now, as We Were Promised Jetpack's frontman Adam Thompson told me over a Skype call, while he took what he thought would be a quiet walk through the streets of New York City. The band is heading over to the United States for a set of tour dates later in September, and Adam decided to come over to NYC and camp there early.

After 'Unravelling,' three of the four original band members got married, Adam told me:  that's guitarist Michael Palmer, bassist Sean Smith, and drummer Darren Lackie. That leaves Adam as the only eligible bachelor in the group now. The rest of the band was off holidaying too.
