Mystery Jets

The Syd Barrett-worshiping indie outfit Mystery Jets, essentially a father-son project, formed in the early '90s when the group's frontman, Blaine Harrison, was 12. The band was initially called the Misery Jets, in honour of the Heathrow-bound jets that habitually roared over their native Eel Pie Island, but they changed their name when Harrison misspelled "misery." Five Tracks EP was released on 679 Records in 2005, and their first full-length album, Making Dens, was released the following year. Zootime, a compilation, was released by Dim Mak 2007. Released in 2008, Twenty One peaked at number 42 on the U.K. albums chart and boasted the single "Young Love," featuring indie folk queen Laura Marling. The third full-length, Serotonin, arrived in 2010.
