It's hard to believe that it's been ten years since Mystery Jets broke surface with their debut album, 'Making Dens'. Of all the acts that sprang into life in The Libertines' Fagin-like wake, Mystery Jets were always the hardest to pin down. A Syd Barrett-enthralled troupe fashioning delightfully skewed, potting shed psychedelia out of playful wonky pop and unashamedly proggy flourishes from their Thameside hideout of Eel Pie, the South London island that played midwife to the British R&B boom in the early '60s. On 'Curve Of The Earth', Mystery Jets have changed tack again, only this time it's been to strip back some of their more shapeshifting tendencies and distil the essence of what makes them such a great band. Arguably their strongest, most personal and most coherent set of tracks to date, it highlights what the kids down the front of their shows shouting "Zoo Time!" have known all along, that at their centre Mystery Jets simply write amazing songs.
