Mystery Jets

I've been sitting on this little gem for a couple of weeks and it's finally time to share it with all of you.  This song initially caught my ear because I was certain it was a new offering from a band that released one of my favourate albums of 2008 - 'Slipway Fires' by UK rockers 'Razorlight'.

Although initially I was a little taken back by the similarity of the lead vocals, the power and undoubted quality of the song didn't take long to emerge.  The single 'Something Purer' now sits very firmly in my top songs play list of 2012!

Mystery Jets are a British band that were originally know as the Misery jets until the then drummer Blaine Harrison accidentally misspelled it on his drum kit! They first began writing tracks together in high school and have since released four full length albums, most recently 'Radlands' (2012) which in my opinion is by far their best.

A combination of piercingly clear vocals with an English twang and strong guitar riffs defines their sound, however at times throughout this album they seem to venture into the storytelling folky styles of Cat Stevens and Simon and Garfunkel.  This track has intensity from the get go, drawing you in like a vacuum with the vocal  and holding you there until it's finished with it's simple but almost hypnotic beat.
 
This is defiantly one of my favourate releases of 2012 so far, take a listen to the 3rd track and first single 'Something Purer' and if you like the track as much as I do don't forget to share it with your friends via facebook!
