![[new music roundup] 5.1.12](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4238735_lg.jpg)
A few of my favorite new releases this week, including the latest from Lower Dens , Patrick Wilson , and Santigold , as well as the debut LP from Father John Misty and the first Norah Jones record i've ever been excited about. As always, be sure to check out [...]

Mystery Jets - Radlands By Paul Faller While doing some research (oh fine, looking at Wikipedia) for this review, something struck me concerning the chart performance of Mystery Jets - despite adopting an '80s pop slant with second and third albums Twenty One and Serotonin , their loveably oddball prog-influenced debut Making Dens remains their highest-charting record. Still, this should be taken as a by-product of the ever-shifting nature of record-buying (or lack thereof) and music consumption - Mystery Jets have yet to [...]
Just a week or so ago we brought you a new jam from one of our favorite groups, Mystery Jets . Now we've got another tune to share with you from the band's excellent new record, Radlands . There's definitely a slight change of the group's sound, though you could see that coming with their last effort, Serotonin . On this song, you'll see the more subtle pop structures the band has been working with, rather than the jangly pop they began their career with [...]

Another one from Radlands .

"They’ve moved away from their signature indie-pop to concentrate on a more intimate listen..." Mystery Jets | Radlands In the well-thumbed issue of 'Album Release Campaigns For Dummies' one of the subjects it doesn't suggest is one of your groups key members quitting days before the album hits the shelves. Rather unfortunately, everybody's favourite Eel Pie quartet find themselves in such a position, returning with their fourth album, Radlands after a turbulent few weeks in which bassist Kai Fish quit the band. From the same book frontman Blaine Harrison hs [...]

RayRay and I have long adored Mystery Jets , regardless of their sonic changes throughout the years, so I never get tired of hearing from these dudes. And, to top it off their new album Radlands , which comes out April 30th, was recorded while the band spent time here in Austin (it's even reflected in the album art). It seems the band has found a great groove with this new record, showing their progression as a group while still maintaining that fantastic pop sensibility that made me such a [...]

Los Mystery Jets estrenaron el video de su sencillo más reciente “Someone Purer” , primer tema que se desprende del álbum Radlands a estrenarse el próximo 30 de abril. Este video dirigido por Jack King nos muestra el recorrido de un joven a bordo de su automóvil, donde es testigo de imágenes atormentadoras que bien pudieron ser extraídas de alguna pesadilla o podrían ser el resultado de algún alucinógeno, con un desenlace estremecedor que se seguro conmoverá a varios. Se quedan con [...]
Sabemos que los chicos de Mystery Jets lanzarán a finales de este mes su nueva producción, Radlands , de la que sólo habíamos tenido oportunidad de escuchar un pequeño trailer que la banda publicó a la par de los detalles iniciales de la producción , que ahora sabemos también será la última en la que haya tocado su bajista Kai Fish, quien abandonó el grupo al terminar esta grabación, simplemente porque ya no se sentía a gusto en el grupo. Pero con todo y cambios el [...]
The first track to be taken from Mystery Jets' forthcoming Radlands gets the video treatment. Conjuring images similar to Radiohead's 'Karma Police' - car driving slowly in the dark with its headlights on, coming across people - very little of 'Something Purer' makes sense. It's a psycholanalyst's dream, though. Radlands [Read more]

Today Mystery Jets released the new video for recent single Someone Purer . The video was directed by Jack King and stars the group’s frontman Blaine Harrison. Check it out below. Meanwhile, bassist Kai Fish who released his debut solo album Life In Monochrome last year quit the band this week in the run up to the launch party of their upcoming album Radlands . The group have drafted in new bassist Peter Cochrane and pedal steel player Matt Park to fill his shoes.

Tweet I never really paid much attention to the Mystery Jets before. What? What's the problem with that? They weren't paying me any attention, why should I care about them? Ok, ok, I'm being petty now... It might well be the cardinal sin of the UK indie scene to ignore the Mystery Jets. They've long been darlings of the music press and now, after 5 albums and 7 years they've finally caught the ear of SGTMT. You've made it lads. This sublimely [...]
Mystery Jets are more than adept at creating great pop songs, and going by 'Something Purer', that's exactly what they are attempting to do on forthcoming album Radlands. Out on April 27, Radlands is the Eel Pie Island group's fourth album. 'Something Purer' sees singer Blaine Harrison (no, his dad's [Read more]

We've been into Mystery Jets for a while now (even in our crazy pre-b3sci days). Their last record Serotonin was kind of a bummer, but their material up to then was pretty ace. The band are readying their latest LP Radlands (due April 30 on Rough Trade) and have dropped lead single "Someone Purer" to get you interested. Are you interested? "Someone Purer" is a nice return featuring a hookier than a coatroom verse and just enough "anthemicness" in the chorus to warrant repeat plays. Start play one below. [...]

First taste of Radlands .
Hace unos días les contábamos que los Mystery Jets estaban listos para lanzar este año su nueva producción, la cual en un principio pensamos se titularía LP4 , de acuerdo con el primer anuncio , aunque finalmente ahora sabemos que no llevará este nombre sino el de Radlands . Así lo confirmó el grupo en un mensaje publicado en su sitio oficial , en el que además aprovecharon para explicar de dónde salió el mismo: "Siempre quisimos hacer un disco en Estados [...]
