Jet - 'Are You Gonna Be My Girl' (Elektra)
4/5
By: Toby L
Jet: three letters in a specifically-placed order that will either set your tongue wagging or your eyes rolling.
Seemingly, judging by chart-positions alone (a stealthy number-23 in the UK charts this week), there's enough of a thirst for ragged, Stooges-rock with more than just a hint of the 60s and 70s - and rightly so; 'Are You Gonna...?' throbs and stonks with admirable, pop-inclined urgency.
Favourably, they reek of no pretension, and - even more favourably - aren't so intent on style-of-dress over melodic-inclination so as to render their future to a limited, 'scene'-dependent time-span. This could be the start of a deeply pleasurable, drunken relationship.
