Mystery Jets - Greatest Hits

No this isn't a track listing for The Mystery Jets's greatest hits album, it's their new music video, entitled 'Greatest Hits'. Cut by Jimmy.

Awwwww, oh to be young and in love........ Remember taking your girlfriend to the funfair when you were 15 years old and trying to win her the biggest cuddly toy they have? Remember failing? Of course you do! Nobody wins the big bear, it's all a fix and don't kid yourself either! The only person that bear is going home with is a gypsy and if we're being picky, it's technically a mobile home.

Going back to what's important, this is the band's new video by Director Jem Goulding. Jem wanted to create a cinematic Tarantino-esque look for this video as a sort of "Lost Boys meets Mean Streets" and shot it all on 16mm. Aside from being a great video it's also a banging tune! Oh and stay with the black screen at the start, it has a purpose.
