The World Forgot

This year has been filled with amazing albums.  In fact there’s been enough that I already cringe when imagining picking just ten for my best of the year list.  At times, though, I thought I was on top of it.  Each time I figure I’m completely caught up I realize I missed an album that came out months ago and, upon listening, it rips my preconceived notions to shreds.  The latest album by Mystery Jets, Twenty One (amazon) (itunes), is one of those albums.  It was released in March of this year and it seems to be influenced by The Strokes and The Killers {at least the Killers when they’re more current and less Bruce Springsteen}.  I first stumbled upon their music when countless solid remixes kept showing up on the internet month after month.  After awhile I finally gave in and decided it was time to investigate the source material.

What I found was an album that everyone should listen to.  I know I posted yesterday about TV On The Radio, telling everyone in the world to go out and listen to their album, and that proclaimation still stands.  But if you’re in the mood for well crafted, catchy, intelligent indie pop you need not look any further than these four boys from England.
