11. Mystery Jets - Show Me The Light




Serotonin is most definitely Mystery Jets most complete album. The level of maturity that has surrounded their still irresistible melodies of adolescence means that critical praise and a bigger fanbase came hand in hand for the Londoners. The 3rd single from their new album, ‘Show Me The Light’ practically screams 80’s pop at you from the open synth notes, and nails the sound to the ground throughout. This however, unlike most other Mystery Jets classics, seems to be aimed not specifically at the dance floor but for the calm, easy listeners as well. Drenched in vocal harmonies throughout that rival even Fleet Foxes in their beauty show that Mystery Jets truly are a multi talented band that are capable of changing their sound and look effortlessly comfortable doing it. This is their big step forward, a step that all knowingly will snowball continuously with everything they continue to release hereafter.
