Today I've been listening to..... Mystery Jets

Hi,

Today's post will be about a band called Mystery Jets. Today I've been especially loving their EP "Half in love with Elizabeth". You can buy it from iTunes HERE

Background info:
Mystery Jets are an English indie rock band, formerly based on Eel Pie Island in Twickenham, London. The band was formed by Henry Harrison (lyrics, piano), Blaine Harrison (vocals, guitar and keyboards), William Rees (guitar, vocals) and Kapil Trivedi (drums). The band have 5 albums: Making Dens- 2006, Zootime- 2007, Twenty One- 2008, Serotonin- 2010 and Radlands- 2012.

I bought this EP because Florence + the machine has a version of one of their songs on it, but I loved these guys as well so I have also bought their album Twenty One (which is definitely worth a listen!) Their indie-rock sound and gorgeous acoustic and electric tunes go so perfectly with Harrison's nasal and closed throat sound which I love! "The back door" has classical tunes made up from string section and symbols which sounds great but is indie with the metaly, twangy, clicky sound of the acoustic guitar. "Half in love with Elizabeth" is a great catchy tune that has you up on your feet dancing!! The twangy bass, electronic keyboard sounds and drum beats make it sound a bit ll over the place but in a good way! I love their accent when they sing, you can listen to this song for hours on repeat and not get bored (well I can anyway!). These guys are definitely worth a listen!! 

Top 3 Songs of the week #1

Hi,

So today's post will be my 3 favourite and most listened to songs of the week, I'll do this every Saturday. Click on the song to have a listen.

This week I've been loving:
California daze by Peace
Half in love with Elizabeth by mystery jets
Buzzcut season by Lorde

California daze is from their EP delicious. I love the dulcet guitar riffs and the way the rest of the band harmonize behind the main vocalist with ad lib. I love the lyrics and the distressed sounding way that Harry Koisser sings them. Amzing song, amazing band!

Half in love with Elizabeth is from mystery jet's album Twenty One. I love this up beat track full of light drum beats and electronic keyboard sounds. The lyrics are amazing and I love the way they sing with their Twickenham accent. Love these guys!!

Buzzcut season was iTunes single of the week a few weeks ago so I got it from there. This is a powerful track, she manages to make a memorable song with a limited backing track. This girl is only 17 and still has an amazing range and a beautiful, haunting voice. Expect a review of her new album "Pure Heroine" pretty soon!

So that's it, hope you enjoyed my post! Do you know these artists, let me know your favourite of their songs in the comments!
