Song of the Day: Mystery Jets – Greatest Hits

Posted on
5 Jul 2012

Ricky

English band Mystery Jets continual transition from quirky weirdo artsy band to well polished indie pop band continues with their latest release – Radlands, an obvious take on the famed Terrence Malick classic. Recorded in America (as opposed to England), the new album has a different more classic rock but somewhat striped down vibe that’s quite different then Serontonin, their previous record. The lead single is a track called Greatest hits, a track that name drops more artists/songs then you can think of. It’s a catchy single that reigns in influences from bands from the 60’s, including the ever popular ‘sha la la la la’ line. It’s only fitting since the song is an ode to hits of the past. The song itself is pretty good, so maybe it’ll be a hit on it’s own, which would make this whole thing quite meta?

Check it out.
