recording in the studio with Erol!
Mystery Jets are absolutely, positively one of those bands that - despite how much I'd heard their name around - I hadn't heard a note until it was sneaked into my playlist via Last FM (note: I'm the last person on the planet to have discovered Lfm, and I love it. If Viacom buys it, who knows what I'll do next...). I was fully impressed, and since then I've been surprised at how alluring the third, fourth and fifth listens are. "Diamonds In The Dark," for example, is so pop-ridden but utterly gorgeous in the melody, chorus, and lyrics. For quite some time, I had been so tired of Brit-based rock (overindulgence of Art Brut, The Cribs, and others in 2006, I suppose) but I've slowly returned to the ring.

Bummer they're not coming to Boston. I think they were just here?
They'll be putting out their latest record on May 8th, which was recorded with the very talented, well-known producer Erol Alkans. Heart, humor, and a whole lot of London soul, indeed.

Uhhh, they are coming to Boston May 31 Boston, MA Great Scott
White Rabbits is opening for them on the 31st @ Great Scott. Def a great band to check out. Saw them open for RA ra riot last weekend and totally blew me away. So much energy and fun expelled on stage with the chops to back it up.
