Guardian, May 2008
"This is a vividly youthful album, packed with acid-sharp lyrics and neon-bold choruses, playful vocal harmonies and strikingly confident pop sounds. Henry, the boys have done you proud." ****
i-D, May 2008
`A leaner, meaner outfit, focussed on securing their rightful place at the top of the Brit-pack"
Uncut, May 2008
"21 fizzes with youthful energy...a bold leap forwards." ****
NME, May 2008
`Mystery Jets have made one of this year's biggest, most unashamed pop hits. It's called `Two Doors Down'.
It will be massive.'
It will be massive.'
Album Description
Mystery Jets are back with their second album. `Twenty One' is an awe-inspiring collection of oddball pop songs. A clear departure from their debut album `Making Dens', these four young men have grown up in more ways than one. `Twenty One' is a huge stylistic and emotional leap forward for the band.
This new emotional depth dovetails neatly with the band's raised musical ambition on the steamrollering rhythms of flyer single `Young Love'. Featuring their catchiest chorus and a spine-tingling vocal from new London folk singer Laura Marling, its tale of a one-night stand is also remarkable for the richness of Will's voice. The Mystery Jets have spread their wings in style on their second record.
