10. "Diamonds in the Dark" – 3:57 <----- THE RAR IS MISSING THIS TRACK, UPLOAD ON THE WAY


http://www.nme.com/reviews/mystery-jets/7872

It's not going to win album of the year, it probably would struggle to feature in most people's top tens but it's certainly interesting enough and there's a bit more flesh on it than the usual three singles UK debuts.

i like it a lot

lot better than the Arctic Monkeys disc even

What's '.rar', and why does it totally not want to cooperate with iTunes?

Stick your iTunes up your ass.

this is quite good so far. thanks Gareth!

nobody hears the Futureheads in this album?

Don't really hear much Futureheads, aside from some slight vocal moments. As far as recent British bands go, I would put these guys closer to Dogs Die in Hot Cars and The Coral, but with more attempts at pop songwriting, which I suppose is more inside the Futureheads lines (especially on the Boy Who Ran Away).

I can defintely hear Dogs Die In Hot Cars in it. It is quite prog lite in places. The more I listen, the more I like it.

On my first listen, it didn't really jump out at me, but I did slot it in between listening to classic albums from the '65 - '74 era, so that may have been a little unfair on them.

Doesn't work on my pc at work either (Windows Media Player doesn't recognize RaR file).

Google ".rar" and get the software to expand it.

For anyone that missed it, here's the whole thing on Mega-Upload

been listening to this for the last couple of days now. i can't get Alas Agnes out of my head. this is really growin on me.

I'm digging this

I hate to ask, but can someone upload just track 10: "Diamonds in the Dark"

That Megaupload is still up.

Still in my top 20 for the year I think.

Still is, one of the few debut guitar albums from these shores this year that is pretty consistent throughout and I can say is worth at least an 8.

Links no longer available. Boo!

If no-one else does it I will sometime this weekend.

Mystery Jets ft. Laura Marling - "Young Love"

i love that video, i posted it in Jigga's recent video thread.

what album is this song from?

It's from their upcoming album "21". There's a 5-song sampler up for grabs on Kokoro. Really promising.

I didn't read that thread, apologies.

no need to apologize.

i can't find the kororo link. any help, anyone?

http://kokoro-datamp3.blogspot.com/2008/02...mpler-2008.html

Has the first album and Zootime also.

I might have mentioned I like Laura Marling too.

THANKS

The sampler is good, think that Erol Alkan is a good choice for them too, makes sense after James Ford did the first to stick with that sort of production.

yeah, the song with laura marling on is great, i don't know much else of theirs, i've maybe heard one other single, i think it had some blokes' name in it but yeah, the laura marling song is really good, as are most things involving laura marling, especially her album alas, i cannot swim, laura marling's album that is, its good.

but i'll have to check out more mystery jets, ya

Are you going to the gig next week?

unfortunately not, i forgot (and didn't realize about the time limit) to register for my ticket. unless i somehow get me'self down to bristol, but thats nigh on impossible

Ah bugger, I'll be at the one in a week.

loving these 5 songs so far...

Yeah.

Get hold of the older stuff, It's a bit prog-lite in places but I'd still have it in my top 20 of that year.

The lead singers father is in the band.

You know who this band sounds like to me? The Police.

I can see that with the bouncy basslines and so forth.

Also the "whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-ooo" part in (I think) "Half In Love With Elizabeth." Lots of little Police moments scattered about. In a good way, not in a geriatric Sting playing jazz versions of hits at Wrigley Field way.

edit: "Young Love," not "Elizabeth." Though the latter has Police-like "doo doo doo" vocals as well.

these guys are playing an acoustic set for free at my uni on Sunday, it's the first gig/anything good that's happened here, cant wait

uni? really? you guys actually say slang like that?!

man, where the hell did all these brits come from?

the MitchellSterling Army is growing...

Not a bad band.
Saw em open for Klaxons at the Fillmore back in Oct and they were good.

When I heard "Can't Fool Me Dennis" I thought these dudes were just another shit NME hype band. Guess I was wrong.

The guitarist needs to sing lead more often.

^Anyone got an MP3 of of this?

WTF happened to the old dude?

Blaine, the father, he decided touring was a bit much for him.

New album 21:

hxxp://www.shareonall.com/MJT.kokoro-datamp3.blogspot.com_tfxv.zip

so i dl'ed this from koroko mainly because of this:
Genre: Indie Pop / Indie Rock /Post-Punk Revival

so a genre that happened after another genre is being brought back?

the return of the curse of the creature's ghost?

Making Dens was one of my 5 favorites in 2006. Was really happy to see them at Schubas last year. They all hung around forever during Jamie T's set and I had a great conversation with their singer about England city music culture vs. Chicago.

Thanks for the info about their new songs.

Kokoro lazily tag most indie rock bands with any kind of angular riffs as "post-punk revival". The Young Knives and Tokyo Police Club have also gotten the tag recently... Don't pay attention to that stuff.

but come ON, i feel that koroko will not be the only one saying it.
(not about the jets, but in general)

cant we come up with a new name for the genre?

how about brity?
londy?

I dunno man, I don't think people use "post-punk revival" to refer to British bands exclusively. Pretty sure the first time I read anyone use that term, they were referring to Interpol.

so its been used.
just don't use three words for a genre.
