What we say

Rating: ecstatic This record left our BRIAN D feeling ecstatic.

Ooooh Mystery Jets are back from hibernating on their Eeel Pie Island for a million years. One of the new breed of a couple o'years ago (along wiv Larrikin Love etc) who caght my ear with their imaginative, technicolour take on indie pop. They've still got it evidently with 'Young Love', the new single which is just stacked with great vocal harmonies, a spine meltingly sexy co-vocal from Laura Marling and some of the most basic, classic elements that make up a cracking radio hit. It's got that quirkiness in there somewhere but this track is a timely reminder that they're just great songwriters full stop. They've still managed to shoehorn some tribal 80's esque Adam & the Ants woah woah's in there but Miss Marling is the star here. Honestly. I've got a lovesick smile on my face! Welcome back guys! I love you!

OVERVIEW: Eel Pie Island's finest troubadours Mystery Jets are back with a charming tale of love and loss and a lot of searching in their single - 'Young Love'. Featuring the vocal talents of the hotly tipped Laura Marling, this is a song of two halves. A sparring between the male and female points of view of a one-night-stand and a series of mishaps all set to a tune that will refuse to leave your head for days. 'Young Love' is an example of Mystery Jets truly outdoing themselves as creators of perfect, harmony driven, edgy pop. Traditionally fronted by Blaine Harrison, this single displays the talents of other players having been written by William Rees (guitar) and Kai Fish (bass). Stepping forward as a second lead vocalist for the band, Will's lyrics vividly supply the narrative as Laura Marling's alluring vocals perfectly complement with backing vocals that are playfully reminiscent of sixties doo-wop with a sardonic twist. 'Young Love' is a great taster for things to come from their eagerly awaited second album 'Twenty One' which sees Erol Alkan in the production seat – his first complete album. Due to arrive on the 24th March, 'Twenty One' will prove to be the perfect soundtrack as the spring sun begins to show itself again.

About the humble CD single:

Another digital format and even though they can hold 80 minutes of information (like a CD album would) record companies only fill up a small portion of the disc. Sometimes only 1 or 2 tracks on there totalling 5 minutes or so. It's like going to a restaurant and getting a plate of food with 2 green beans on and wondering where the rest of your meal is. Sometimes they're lovingly packaged though and when the music is good then you're into a winner. Also you get videos on there sometimes which you can watch on your computer. That is excellent.

'it's like I'm the farmhand and you're my animals.'
