What a tease!

Due out this fall, We Were Promised Jetpacks’ next release is sure to be an absolute doozy. In fact, based off of the nearly worn-out copy of 2009’s These Four Walls, we’re pretty confident in stating that it’s going to be a contender for album of the year on our best-of 2011 lists. And that’s having heard nothing more than the few dozen notes from this trailer.

***UPDATE***

WWPJ has set release and tour dates for the new album! AND: you can get yourself a copy of the first song released of it here, at WeWerePromisedJetpacks.com {!!!!!}.
