Album review: 'The More I Sleep, The Less I Dream' - We Were Promised Jetpacks

We Were Promised Jetpacks return after four years with their most instinctive and mature work yet in the masterfully layered 'The More I Sleep, The Less I Dream'
UPDATED SEP 17, 2018

Scottish indie rockers We Were Promised Jetpacks are out with their fourth studio album, 'The More I Sleep, The Less I Dream' on Friday. It's not often that we get to see a high school band endure for 15 years, but WWP Jetpacks have done just that, displaying a steady maturing approach through the years, with three studio albums and six EPs down the lane.

'The More I Sleep...' arrives a full four years after their previous record 'Unravelling', and a lot has changed since then. Guitarist Michael Palmer recently said that in the new album, the band was "going back to our basics and relying on our instincts". After touring with 'Unravelling', they went back to Scotland to take a much-needed breather. A decision was made that there would be no more touring until a new album was ironed out, a rare call for a band that is extensively on the road.
