mystery jets – young love

heard this song in forever 21, of all places. i think i’m getting old, but i have no idea how people shop in that store. it’s as if a bunch of dyed polyester exploded all over the walls and someone forgot to call hazmat.
i’m such a sucker for mediocre cross-gender harmonizing (2:34 mark). you could have a song that was terrible with one person singing, add the opposite gender, and you had me at hello. remember this?
this was the first song i thought of when i came up with “cross-gender harmonizing.”
Oh my god, this is possibly the most British band I’ve ever seen. They make Blur look like Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Oh, you must love Mates of State, the whole band is based on male/female harmonizing. Here is a good example: http://www.imeem.com/bettychen871/music/dKI8R7KD/mates_of_state_04the_rearranger/
so so so british. i like them despite of it. i got the rest of their album, and i think i previously described them as sounding like “a typical whiny lovestruck british band.”
