You know the end times are here when I get tipped off to cool new tunes by the ultra-amazing MLB Network* (Great station all around, just not where I expect to hear new music). But I've been hearing snippets of this track the past few weeks, and decided to investigate so I have more of a visual in my dome than Dan Plesac's creamy grillpiece.
Turns out its from We Were Promised Jetpacks, a Scottish band that hits Great Scott on Oct. 7. Singer looks a bit like Shepard Fairey, and the intro is very "This Modern Love" by Bloc Party, but overall it's one hell of a post-punk dancefloor beast. Impossible not to get the hook stuck in your head...
(*** I really need to write a manifesto on how much a fucking love the MLB Network, and not just because it paired up with the NHL Network means I never have to watch ESPN ever again. But really, even the Diamond Demos are incredible. Such a great network, and it seems like it speaks to the casual fan and hardcore baseball junky at the same timwe, which is impressive. Anyway, more to come on that...)
