Mystery Jets stream new album ‘Curve of the Earth’

One week ahead of release, Mystery Jets are streaming their fifth record in full. ‘Curve of the Earth’ is out on 22nd January via Caroline International. It’s the band’s first album in three years. Speaking about ‘Curve of the Earth’ to DIY while in the studio, guitarist Will Rees said “we wanted to make a record that was unlike what we had done before. It was dealing with themes that were beyond our normal realm of existence,” he told us. “It’s about redefining yourselves with what’s going on in your life, and not making anything up. There are a lot of songs on there about friends and lost friendships and not recognising the face in the mirror in the morning. There are songs about trying to growing up and whether that’s even possible. It’s a kind of coming of age, I think.” Following the release of their new album, Mystery Jets head out on a UK tour next month, with stops in the likes of London, Birmingham and Manchester.
