Radlands is the fifth album by the Mystery Jets. On 3 April 2012, shortly before the release of Radlands, Kai Fish announced he would be leaving the band, with bassist Pete Cochrane taking his place for the band's UK tour.[8]
The album was recorded in a home recording studio set up in a country house by the Colorado river in the Westlake area in Austin, Texas.
The album peaked at number 40 on the UK Albums Chart.[9]
The name 'Radlands' is an amalgamation of Keith Richards' 1960s apartment Redlands and the Terrence Malik film Badlands.[10]
