Mystery Jets Unveil Video For A Billion Heartbeats
Monday, 16 March 2020
Written by Jon Stickler
Mystery Jets have shared a video for A Billion Heartbeats.
The indie-rock number serves as the title track of the band’s upcoming sixth studio album, out on April 3 via Caroline International, having had its 2019 release postponed due to vocalist Blaine Harrison undergoing emergency surgery. The clip, meanwhile, was shot in Trafalgar Square, London. A statement from the band explains:
"We increasingly hear from musicians that music should be an escape these days - that there’s enough suffering in the world, enough misery on the news, without writings songs about it too.
"A Billion Heartbeats makes all that sound like a bit of a cop-out. These are songs of protest that get the heart racing in joy; high on hope, and serious in their message. Proof, basically, that music speaks louder than words."
The band will support the release with a run of rescheduled UK shows this spring. Tickets are on sale now.
