Mystery Jets Stream ‘Radlands’ In Its Entirety

Mystery Jets are now streaming their brand new album ‘Radlands’ in its entirety.

Curious as to what went into making the record? DIY spoke to William Rees about the whole recording experience: “We’ve always harboured an interest in making an album in America. Everyone in Austin is in a band or works in a bar. There are instruments everywhere, people playing everywhere; it’s just a very creative, buzzing place.”

Following the band’s stay at Radlands, they employed the production talents of Dan Carey to help to share some of the duties. “Getting a producer came out of necessity really. When we were back in London, we sifted through it and felt at first that there wasn’t a complete album there. And also, secondly, that it needed some polishing really.” William smiles, “I don’t think I’ve ever had as much fun working with a producer as I have with him, he just speaks our language.

‘We did about 25 tracks in Austin, five of which we thought were right for the record. Then, between Austin and working with Dan we also did a lot of writing, so everything we did with him was new.’

The tracklisting for ‘Radlands’ is as follows.
