P.s. Talking of Mystery Jets, their new album Serotonin (out July 5th) is a wicked mixed bag and a must must listen if you can get hold of it. They still flirt between 80s synths and pop tunes but vary the vocals a bit, and the lyrics are still memorable and clever. This is their new one apparently 'Flash a Hungry Smile'...

Beautiful.
Two posts today, I'm so generous. Had to share this sweet acoustic song 'Flaws' by one of my favourite bands - Bombay Bicycle Club. It is beautiful and it's nice to hear them switch it up a bit by having a duet with a girl, similar to when Mystery Jets had folk singer Laura Marling on 'Young Love' - except this is much more sensitive and minus pop. Jack's ageless aged voice is given priority for once and it is clear to see now why they are releasing an acoustic album coupled with acoustic tour dates. Not so obvious however why Jack is doing a side electro project - I guess everyone needs an electro outlet. Delicate and charming, impossible not to pause to listen.
