Mystery Jets – Someone Purer

mysteryjets

We’ve been into Mystery Jets for a while now (even in our crazy pre-b3sci days). Their last record Serotonin was kind of a bummer, but their material up to then was pretty ace. The band are readying their latest LP Radlands (due April 30 on Rough Trade) and have dropped lead single “Someone Purer” to get you interested. Are you interested? “Someone Purer” is a nice return featuring a hookier than a coatroom verse and just enough “anthemicness” in the chorus to warrant repeat plays. Start play one below.

Premiere: Foreign/National – EP

foreignnationalep

We loved Melbourne AU band Foreign/National‘s track “Paris” back in December. Today, the Aussie band is back with that excellent track’s equally great accompanying EP. Five tracks deep and constructed of a similar stylistically diverse mesh of Metronomy meets Mystery Jets indie, the EP also includes blog hits “Life Tourist” and “All Honesty” as well two previously unreleased tracks. Stream the B3 Premiere of Foreign/National’s debut EP below.

Shy Nature – Lie Back

shy nature

UK newcomers Shy Nature adeptly convey their penchant for kinetic British indie (if bands like Mystery Jets, The Maccabees, Peace, etc are your bag, you’re probably going to be into this) on single “Lie Back”. Shy Nature’s arena-ready (or at least large theater-ready) dreamy melodic guitars and infinitely singable vocal hooks indicate a band capable of lofty heights. “Lie Back” is out Feb 17th on Kissability.
