Mystery Jets performing at TRNSMT 2019 (Gary Mather for Live4ever)
‘An intimate, socially-distanced seated show with level access’, according to Mystery Jets on social media.
Finding the positives from a year such as this one isn’t easy, but Mystery Jets can look back on 2020 as the year when their sixth studio album A Billion Heartbeats finally got its release.
And they’ll end it with a gig very much in a 2020 setting on December 19th at the Clapham Grand in London.
“Opener Screwdriver must be the heaviest thing they’ve done; a sprawling, multi-part rock monster of a song which gives a false impression with a twinkling start,” our A Billion Heartbeats review reads.
“As a mission statement, both with lyrical content (‘fight them with love’) and gnarly chords, it’s highly effective. Similarly, the dystopian Petty Drone is riff-heavy but with a more uplifting chorus while Campfire Song, which opens with fast acoustic (which acts as a relief to the multi-layered production that otherwise pervades the album) is explosively uplifting and brings to mind the more gospel moments of Stereophonics’ output (please note, this is not meant as an insult).”
