Hot on the heels of their opening slot on a lengthy tour endorsed by a weekly music magazine, everyone's new favourite Londoners Mystery Jets are keeping us interested with a brand new single. It's their fifth, and precedes their eagerly anticipated debut long player Making Dens by just a week.

As you're probably aware by now, this five man collective are happiest when they mix things up a bit - forget your conventional song structures and tell-it-how-it-is lyrics, they've proven with their previous singles that out there can be great, especially when performed with such gusto.

And The Boy Who Ran Away is no exception to their conventions. "There was a boy who ran away, from what he didn't know", Blaine Harrison and those around him cry with an almost alarming passion, as the track explodes into action. Sounding how The Coral might do after too many beers, there's collective harmonising, percussion of all sorts, a fabulous mid song breakdown and a refrain that absolutely refuses to let up until things shudder to a halt. It's yet another remarkably good single from a band who will be 2006's most unlikely stars.
