We Were Promised Jetpacks will return this winter with E Rey (Live in Philadelphia), an album that was recorded at Philadelphia’s Union Transfer. The live album will be released on February 25 via FatCat and follows up We Were Promised Jetpacks critically acclaimed sophomore album In The Pit Of The Stomach. Check out the new song, Peace Sign after the jump. I’m excited.
Recorded at the final show of their 2012 US tour, at Union Transfer in Philadelphia, and mixed by the band’s touring sound engineer Andrew Bush, E Rey features the first new WWPJ song in two years, “Peace Sign” – an early live-version taster of their upcoming studio album, which will be released in the fall. The bonus film, downloadable
separately, includes the full concert shot by a 5-camera crew, as well as tour footage and interviews shot on Super 8 by their friend Matt over weeks of being on theroad with the band.
For fans, this is a new piece of the Jetpacks’ puzzle, a reminder of where Jetpacks truly live: on the stage, under the lights and singing along with everyone in the audience. Peace.
