Mystery Jets have announced their new album
‘A Hole To See The Sky Through’, set for release on 21st August via Fiction Records.
The band have also shared the album’s opening track and title piece,
‘A Hole To See The Sky Through I’, following last week’s return single ‘
Black Sage’. Both tracks arrive with live performance videos directed by James Slater and filmed at the James Turrell Skyspace at Tremenheere Sculpture Gardens.
Named after
Yoko Ono’s minimalist artwork of the same name, the album also features the original piece on its cover artwork after the band were granted permission by Ono herself. Produced by Leo Abrahams, the nine-track record was written in the years following 2020’s ‘A Billion Heartbeats’ and recorded at Abrahams’ East London studio.
The album is described as completing a trilogy with 2016’s ‘
Curve of the Earth’ and 2020’s ‘A Billion Heartbeats’, casting its gaze “back up from the void, to the cosmic again”.
