THE LONG BLONDES vs MYSTERY JETS

Well it's not quite The Stones vs The Beatles or Blur vs Oasis, but just been released, were two "difficult" second albums, both produced by our favorite knob twiddler, superstar DJ and occasional sound technician (cheers for sorting out the sound at the wedding) Erol Alkan. Check out his new snazzy website.

Giddy Stratospheres was one of the best indie songs released over the last few years, so we did have high expectations for The Long Blondes new material. New single starts out like an outtake from David Bowie's Low album and ends up sounding like Donna Summer. It's is genius. 

We tried our best to get into Mystery Jets last time around, even with remixes from Erol and Justice, it just didn't click for us (this is not the reason Fionn ended up with the lead singers passport after a heavy night at The End, that still remains a mystery), however we love the lead single Young Love, so we are looking forward to hearing the rest of the album. Here is also the brilliant Switch remix of Hideaway that will set dance floors alight.
