Standing on our tiptoes

Fasting for Yom Kippur so I had to stay in tonight and not party-how I compensated, (500) Days of Summer and listening to music in my room. Fun discovery, Scottish band We Were Promised Jetpacks, brought to me by Gena from my hall.

The song begins with a rolling repetitive guitar lick that drives the melody. I'm a little more partial than most to accents in music-cue Noah and the Whale. The song doesn't really promise anything too great-nothing novel that seems to take you out of the realm of what you have or haven't heard before, but it is really great chill song and you have to take it at that face value. Best verse on record- "Waiting for my brain to start/trying to work things out/it's thunder and it's lightning/And it's all things too frightening," in lead singer Adam Thompsons Alt-Rock whine. Enjoy the track-definitely a good find.

"It's Thunder And It's Lightning" by We Were Promised Jetpacks from These Four Walls (2009)
