As Webcuts said in our review of, We Were Promised Jetpacks’ debut These Four Walls –”…the single, “Quiet Little Voices” is the band’s sing-along rocker, a chorus-less anthem, catchy enough to appear in mainstream commercials or the next episode of your favorite television show.”
We were promised great things from Scottish act We Were Promised Jetpacks including epic, emotional rock songs and whad’ya know? We got ‘em.
The Too Pure Singles Club returns in 2012 with a bang (or is that a rattle) with the sound of Icelandic mantra magicians Dead Skeletons. For the uninitiated, Dead Skeletons came into existence in 2008 when band member Jon Saamunder needed music for an art installation in the Reykjavik Art Museum. Enlisting the help of friends Henrik Bjornsson and Ryan Carlson Van Kriedt the trio penned the songs which would eventually become the Dead Magick album, a 72 minute, 12 song journey through space and time, life and death. “Om Mani Peme Hung” is the sound of Neu! on a meditation retreat engaging in a spiritual hypno-chant.
