a mystery jets mystery 16.06.
it’s been two years since mystery jets‘ second album twenty one came out to define the sound of the summer for many people, myself included, and, at last, the boys are back with a new album that’s due out on rough trade in early july. i can’t wait.
serotonin, their forthcoming third album, is out on 5th july and if the new single ‘dreaming of another world’ is anything to go by then we’re in for a treat. will takes up lead vocals, as he’s done in the past on songs like ‘young love’, and it’s a song as typically catchy and lovable as any mystery jets song. having been a bit quiet over the past couple years, i think the wait’s definitely been worth it. check out the video below, directed by yoann lemoine, shot in a glorious 8mm-like style with some brilliant dancing by kapil and snazzy shirts and haircuts all round..
‘dreaming of another world’ by mystery jets
anyway, there’s a bit more to this post than just to shout about new mystery jets music. the band are playing a myspace secret show on next tuesday 22nd june and it’s only happening right here in leeds. lovely! aren’t we a lucky lot.
described as an intimate show in leeds for just a few hundred lucky fans, the band will play songs from soon to be released serotonin as well as a load of old classics. when i heard about this i’d just spent the past week listening to making dens and twenty one, frustratedly wondering why i’d not seen them live since leeds festival ‘08, so you can imagine how excited i was/still am about this.
to be in with a chance of being at the show head on over to myspace.com/secretshowsuk and sign-up. it took me forever to remember my myspace login details (who still uses myspace?!) but i was more than willing to make a new account if i had to.
as for the venue? well, i can’t say, but sign-up and you might find out. except to say it’s my favourite place in the country, let alone ls6.. :)
