The Mystery Jets chat to I Like Music
One of the less orthodox bands spawned by the post-Libertines London music scene, the Mystery Jets started at the end of the last century when Blaine Harrison and his dad, Henry, formed a band together. Soon joined by Blaine's schoolfriends Kai and Will, the band recruited drummer Kapil and started staging gigs in a crumbling hotel ballroom on Eel Pie Island. A new scene rapidly grew up around the Eel Pie shows, giving artists like Jamie T an opportunity to play their first gigs.
After two years on a world tour and another year in the studio, their new album, Twenty One is out March 24th and sees the Mystery Jets spread their wings in style.
I Like Music caught up with Kai from the MYSTERY JETS to talk about the new album and single, working with Erol Alkan and meeting Flea at Fuji Rock.
"I Like Music because… music makes me smile." KAI, THE MYSTERY JETS
ILM: Young Love is out on 10th March. . Please describe the track and its whole vibe?
KAI: It's a track that I wrote with Will. We wrote it at the beginning of last year. It had been a couple of other songs and then it became a new version on it. I don't think we had any particular thought before starting to write it. It was just coming up with this slightly Motown loopy bass line and it just went from there. We wrote it an afternoon, we sat down and by the evening it was done: all the vocal parts and the lyrics. It was one of those really fortunate songs.
