I wish they were better.
The Mystery Jets are from Eel Pie Island in Twickenham. I lived near the island and in Twickenham for the three years I spent at uni. As a result I am quite nostalgic about the place and finding out that a band from there have released an album this weeks fills me with happy thoughts... and then I listen to the album.


It’s not something that I really want to associate with a place that I hold so close to my heart. If they were just another uninteresting indie band then it wouldn’t be as bad because I could just disregard them and move on, but I think that this album is pretty bad.
All the songs are very similar and the singers voice drills into you a bit too much, like they have the treble up too much.


Listen to this album: While stood on Eel Pie Island looking at the house with all the dolls in the garden.
