Mystery Jets performing at TRNSMT 2019 (Gary Mather for Live4ever)
They follow Mystery Jets’ long-delayed 2020 album A Billion Heartbeats.
Mystery Jets have released a collection of covers entitled Home Protests which were recorded during the course of this year.
“When we had to take some time out after Blaine’s operation at the end of last year, we got together each week to record a different cover of some of our favourite protest songs,” the band explain.
“Songs about mental health, the environment, consumerism or racial intolerance, which still feel as real now as they did when they were written. Some happy, some sad.”
“What with the lockdown, and not being the kind of people to like to miss out on a party, we decided that now would be a pretty nice time to share them with you guys.”
Mystery Jets will also play a socially distanced gig at the Clapham Grand in London on December 19th, the band adding that, ‘When the opportunity arose for them to perform in a safe and intimate setting, it felt like a perfect way to see out the year’.
