Mystery Jets are, like The Maccabees are on the verge of becoming indie pop giants. Their loyal and ever-growing fan base as well as their ability to produce glittering brilliant and evergreen pop songs about adolescent love has seen them play the main stage at Reading festival this year. The opening of their third and arguably best album Serotonin is a new benchmark in their career. Spacey synths open the track, creating an eerie atmosphere whilst lead vocalist Blake Harrison sings the line ever immortalised in the breakups of so many teenagers “it’s better to have loved and lost/ then to have lived and never loved anyone.” The song then bursts into life as the gorgeous vocal harmonies fall on you as welcome as a sack full of puppies under the Christmas tree. Beautiful.
