“A Far Cry” is previewed from We Were Promised Jetpacks’ new ep, The Last Place You’ll Look. and yep, this song doesn’t disappoint. so if you are like us, and are wondering how you can get this ep ASAP, the answer comes as follows from the band’s myspace:
“you can buy it if you come to see us at one of our us shows. there are plans for it afterwards, but i’m not sure what they are yet. it’ll be downloadable for sure, but if you want it physically, you have to come along!”

awesome. “Agent White” is a new track from manchester dub producer Illum Sphere. this gem, initially to be released on Illum’s now delayed Long Live The Plan EP (expected Feb. 18) has been cleared by the artist as a free download. so download now, kids, cause apparently “Agent White” will no longer be heard on the EP, or any release for that matter. the track takes inspiration from his favorite Japanese animation film. dig it.
