“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!”
