Mew - Eight Flew Over One Was Destroyed

For some, Mew is a tough act it take. Falsetto vocals crooning over dense, distorted, polyrhythmic tracks, all in the scope of a through-composed concept album may seem daunting for even the most seasoned music fan.

For me, Mew represents everything I’d ever wanted in a band. They sound like nothing else on the planet, put on an incredible live show, and truly understand and respect their craft.

This is taken off of their 2003 Danish release “Frengers” (not quite friends, not quite strangers) which was re-released for the US in 2007. Their most recent release “And The Glass Handed Kites” brought them acclaim in the states, but their buzz has diminished quite a bit since heading back to Denmark to record.

It makes no sense hearing Mew in a vacuum, so head on over to their MySpace and check out Snow Brigade, et al.
