Twenty One by Mystery Jets

Twenty One, the second Mystery Jets album, came out in the UK on 24 March 2008 on 679 Artists, and it finds the band from Eel Pie Island trading some of their clatter for gleam. Erol Alkan produced it, buffing Blaine Harrison's vocals and keyboards into sleek, nervy indie pop while drummer Kapil Trivedi keeps everything pointed at the dancefloor.
"Young Love", featuring Laura Marling, led the way two weeks ahead of the album, followed by "Two Doors Down", a shameless retro rush complete with Nik Carter's saxophone, and "Half in Love with Elizabeth". The record first stalled at number 50 in the UK, so it was hurriedly reissued with a cover of Aztec Camera's "Somewhere in My Heart" to line up with "Two Doors Down", and that version got to 42. A footnote for collectors: the 7" of "Half in Love with Elizabeth" carries a version of "Flakes" sung with Florence Welch, among her very first releases.
