New Mystery Jets Video - "Two Doors Down"

thumbnail icon: New Mystery Jets Video - "Two Doors Down"

You know how we'd been getting steadily more hysterical waiting for the Erol Alkan produced, it's-gonna-be-great-you-guys Mystery Jets LP? Well a funny thing happened since then: it came out in the UK! British readers, you forgot to tell us. So we haven't listened to the whole thing yet, but this here's the third track and we're lovin' it. Ooh and the director picked up on that not so subtle '80stastic-iality pervading the synth and pop, so congratulations to him he's not fired.

Pink shirts, white ties ... somebody needs to get M83 on the phone.

Twenty One is out now in the UK via 679 Recordings.

Love it! For a couple of weeks, you've been able to preview about 20 seconds of each track on the album through 7digital. It all sounds really good. Can't wait 'til the release!

Pop album of the year so far, especially if you skip "Hideaway" and start straight with "Young Love."

Too bad they couldn't have done something more fun for the video than the obvious thing they did. The "Young Love" video is great.

This album really is a huge highlight this year. Apart from the songs that are already getting play, wait until you hear "Veiled in Grey" and especially, especially "Behind the Bunhouse"....that tune is everything Mystery Jets do incredibly well.

"Twenty One" is hands down the record of the year so far, and has set a VERY high bar for anyone else to jump (I'm betting Augie March can, but they've got their work cut out for them)... is it just me, or does this song DEMAND a John Hughes movie to be featured in.

Awesome video, great, great, GREAT RECORD! Totally worth the import price.... hey 'Jets--get back to the States!!!

Just pay for the import. They'll probably change the artwork and/or the title for the domestic release and you will be able to impress your friends with the original version.
