Biography

Twenty One balanced coming-of-age stories with glam guitar flourishes.

Collaborations expanded palette into dance and folk edges.

Island upbringing lore colours interviews and visual aesthetics.

Lossless streams keep synth brass, backing falsetto, and jangle attack.

Mystery Jets grew up around Eel Pie Island on the Thames, where Blaine Harrison and his father, Henry, played together. The band’s early songs, including Alas Agnes, had a rough charm, and Making Dens (2006) was a quirky debut.

Twenty One (2008) added bright synths and Two Doors Down, and Serotonin (2010) and Radlands (2012) followed. Blaine Harrison’s voice and the group’s knack for melody make them a distinctive part of the era.
