2010, Rough Trade Records
VINYL FORMAT. The heavyweight gatefold vinyl comes with a digital download, plus a bonus 7" single! The third Mystery Jets album, Serotonin features the talents of Chris Thomas, legendary producer of Roxy Music's For Your Pleasure, the Sex Pistols' Anarchy in the UK, John Cale's Paris 1919 and Pulp's Different Class. After stripping away much of the excess on their lovelorn, warmly-received 2008 album Twenty One, Serotonin sees the Mystery Jets mapping out entirely new musical territories with the synthesizer-fueled perfect pop of "Dreaming of Another World" and "It's Too Late", which begins as an aching soft-rock ballad before unexpectedly heading somewhere infinitely weirder. In the dark, hallucinatory grind of "Lorna Doone", you can hear echoes of ELO, 10CC, Fleetwood Mac and Supertramp rubbing up against the band's own idiosyncratic, very British, psychedelic sensibility.
