INFORMATION:
Redjetson's posthumous release soars, swirls and documents a band at its creative peak. The rawness of this record really shines through as the bands signature minor chord melodies wrap around your ears.

PRESS:
“Released posthumously, this second album from defunct London outfit Redjetson sees them build upon the skyscraper riffs and epic overtones of debut ‘New General Catalogue’. It won’t convert newcomers, but by balancing bombast with understated nuances it’s a fine farewell package” Rocksound

“Other Arms is a strange beast of a record. Released over a year after it was recorded and after the band themselves have disbanded to follow individual pursuits, this sophomore full length takes on the form of epitaph to a band once hailed as sonic equals to Radiohead and Mogwai. To that end there is already an d element of pathos infused into hearing what could have been - it adds an ethereal gravitas to the 10 song collection that is hard to pull clear of, the searing melodies and laconic vocal of 'For Those Who Died Dancing' providing 5 minutes of music more inspired than many bands muster in a 20 year career. It's one of several highlights on a record that contains enough shimmering beauty and raw, sculpted weight of sound, to ensure that the mourning period for Redjetson stretches out long into the future”
Rock a Rolla

“Redjetson have seemingly created a work so incredible that, rather than fail to live up to expectations created by it, disbanded before it was even released. More than a year has passed between the recording and the limited release of 1000 copies of their sophomore album, all ringing guitars, solid bass and frenetic drumming over a suitably post-rock blanket of feedback, keys and reverb “ The Skinny

“It's kind of like indie bands like the Editors slowed down a bit and fleshed out with dense, layered almost orchestral music as well as lush guitars” Die Shellsuit Die

“Like their debut, this album must be listened to as a complete album, as only then can its careful sequencing and fluency be fully appreciated- a skill lost to many of today’s ipod generation. Buy it, give it the time it deserves, and an incredible album full of emotion, sweeping guitars and undeniable passion will soon be revealed”

“Each of the ten songs interconnects and more than once to the sort of beauty and ethereality October Project displayed, almost painful with lament and wistfulness but redeemed by hope and vistas beyond the mortal coil. Clive Kentish's vocals act as the human element guiding ghostly visitors through the Pearly Gates into a pastorality only hinted at in earthly realms. Even without drugs, the music is narcotic, but the degree of renaissance thinking here weaves it into a hedonistic hallucinogen rather than an earthly set of stumblers and short term soma. Think grandeur, not oblivion, and then brush the dust off your wings, readying for a fight to greater halls than we know” FAME

“Despite its ten tracks approaching an hour in length, there's not one wasted moment on Other Arms - one of the best indie-rock album's of 2009 so far. Over the years there's been so much talk of so-called great "lost" albums, thankfully Other Arms hasn't suffered that fate, as it deserves to be heard by as many people as possible” Rock Midgets

“Catharsis is the sole ingredient when Other Arms comes to a finish. Ramping up the experience to ground-shaking echoes which would petrify the very face of angels, these are last words to rival Christina Hubbock and Oscar Wilde” Strange Glue

“To get the overall feel of the album, think Mogwai meets Radiohead and enhance the end result to another level, it is an interesting album that’s familiar yet brand new at the same time. With the band having broken apart there will be no tour to promote it, however for those of you familiar with the band this won’t be a problem. For the rest of you, it is something you should give some of your attention to. I have a feeling its popularity will be more through word of mouth and accidental discovery, but then that can only add to the appeal I’m sure” Drop D

“The music grows more etheral and spatial, giving the pondering emotions of the music time to ferment.  ‘Witches at the Controls’ is a beautiful piece: initially sparse, but growing into a pacey and urgent package of fabulously-constructed ambient rock, akin to some of Oceansize’s best work” The Line of Best Fit
