Fresh from announcing their seventh studio album A Hole To See The Sky Through, Mystery Jets have confirmed a new run of UK & Ireland headline dates for November, including shows at London’s O2 Forum Kentish Town and Manchester’s O2 Ritz. The tour arrives in support of the forthcoming record, released 21 August via Fiction Records.
Titled after Yoko Ono’s minimalist masterpiece of the same name, and featuring the original work – a simple white postcard with a circle cut out – on its album cover having been granted special permission by the artist herself, A Hole To See The Sky Through finds the band fighting fear with the best tools they have: imagination, joy, and the sort of boundless, irresistible melodies that have kept them at the heart of British guitar music for the past 20 years.
The album features two recently unveiled tracks: the seismic, reverb-drenched single ‘Black Sage’, alongside opening track and title piece ‘A Hole To See The Sky Through I’.
Written over the years since their 2020 last release, and then recorded with producer Leo Abrahams (Brian Eno, Wild Beasts, Frightened Rabbit) at his East London HQ, A Hole To See The Sky Through is filled with ideas of freedom and forgiveness, trauma and wisdom. If 2016’s Curve of the Earth was written from the skies, looking back down, and A Billion Heartbeats rooted itself firmly in the trenches of “the culture wars, and protests, and a very street-level perspective”, then their newest completes the trilogy by casting its gaze “back up from the void, to the cosmic again”. It’s an album with a clear, coherent point of view, comprising nine songs that all form fragments of a thematic whole.
Mystery Jets will perform live on the below dates. Pre-sale tickets are available from 10am on Wednesday 3rd June, with general tickets on sale from 10am on Friday 5th June. Click here for more information.
