Mystery Jets – Coming to Leeds in November

Mystery Jets’ ‘A Billion Heartbeats’, will be released digitally, with physical copies available in June.  It was postponed from September 2019 owing to Blaine Harrison’s ill health.
 
The album reflects a mix of passion, fear and hope within rich harmonies, heavy guitars and rallying cries.  It’s about personal responsibility, and the power in becoming engaged, which some might say is the story of a generation.
 
Blaine Harrison was living as a property guardian right around the corner from Trafalgar Square where he found himself witness to an entire year of protests in 2017. The album, Mystery Jets’ sixth long-player, emerged from Blaine’s experience of the year-long protests in London in 2017.  He says: “This album wasn’t about making pointed opinions; it was about being a mirror for what’s going on, reflecting back the way people are feeling.” 
 
For some, music speaks louder than words – and this album offers songs of protest which also offer hope and some measure of joy.  It still offers the form of escape that so many advocate when there is already enough to make us miserable.
