Mystery Jets announce new record Curve Of The Earth, detail one-off London show
Mystery Jets have announced their first record since 2012, Curve Of The Earth.
The follow up to Radlands (2012) was recorded at their studio (a diused button factory in East London) with the group's Blaine Harrison "embarking on isolated sessions in a cabin on the Thames Estuary". Mystery Jets have produced it themselves.
The band's Will Rees says of the album: “For us, we’ve been through quite a lot in the last couple of years and there have been certain realisations that come with being in a band that has been playing together for two decades. There’s been a lot of growing up that’s happened in the last couple of years, and a lot of us just doing it for ourselves and setting up the studio, and having to fight our own corners. Not worry about disappearing for a couple of years, not worry about whether we’re still popular or not, and just getting on with it and facing up to reality. I think these songs have that feeling about them.”
The band are set to play new material from the album at a one-off show at London’s ICA on 10 November.
Curve Of The Earth is out 22 January on Caroline.
