As the wonderous 'Flakes' continues to burrow into your subconscious,
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 first
single proper - 'Young Love'. Featuring the vocal talents of the hotly
tipped Laura Marling, this is a song of two halves. A sparing between
the male and female points of view of a one-night-stand and a series of
miss-haps 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 prefect soundtrack as the
spring sun begins to show itself again.Forthcoming live shows (full tour April/May):
