The Last Place You'll Look is an EP by the Scottish indie rock band We Were Promised Jetpacks, released on 9 March 2010 in the US and Canada, and on 12 April 2010 in the UK and Europe by Fat Cat Records.
In comparison with the band's first album, These Four Walls, The Last Place You'll Look has more subdued instrumentation, with additional string accompaniments appearing on the majority of the tracks.
Background and recording[edit]
The EP was recorded within a two-week deadline by the band's sound engineer, Andrew Bush. The band are said to have entered the studio with only "rough sketches" and "older versions" of songs as their starting point.[6]
