English indie rock band, Mystery Jets, formed in 2004 on Eel Pie Island in Twickenham, London. The band consists of Blaine Harrison on vocals, percussion, and keys; Henry Harrison on guitar, keys, and mellotron; and Kapil Treredi on drums. With their unique sound and captivating performances, Mystery Jets have become a prominent figure in the indie rock scene. Former members Kai Fish and Will Rees also contributed to the band's success with their bass and guitar skills respectively.
Mystery Jets' music is characterized by catchy melodies, heartfelt lyrics, and a blend of various musical influences. Their songs often explore themes of love, identity, and personal growth. The band's energetic live shows have garnered them a dedicated fanbase worldwide.
Over the years, Mystery Jets have released several critically acclaimed albums including "Twenty One," "Serotonin," and "Curve of the Earth." They continue to evolve their sound while staying true to their indie roots. With each release, they push boundaries and experiment with new sounds to create an immersive musical experience for their listeners.

there had to be a feeling that after they were dropped from label sixsevenine back in 2008, mystery jets would never fly high again. but in short order, the band has picked itself up and is feeling really good. so much so, in fact, that they called their new album 'serotonin'. the album (the first for rough trade) is a modern day pop masterpiece, recorded at london's british grove studios with production by chris thomas, who has also produced uk heavyweights like pulp, the beatles, and pink floyd. standouts are opening track 'alice springs' which is like a prime and punchy early 90's pulp hit single, 'flash a hungry smile' which has roxy music written all over it but with a great whistling hook and 'too late to talk' which is a gentle and emotional ballad with stunning harmonies. every listen brings something new to the party.
