Mew are great! I saw them supporting Martin Grech a few years ago, and their
show, even in stupidly small venues, was hypnotic. They projected weird
computer animations over themselves, and are much harder live, despite the
disconcertingly high vocals. I recommend their second Danish album
aEURoeHalf The World Is Watching MeaEUR?, as it features stronger versions
of several songs from aEURoeFrengersaEUR?, particularly aEURoe156aEUR?,
aEURoeAm I Wry? NoaEUR? and aEURoeComforting SoundsaEUR?. aEURoeA Triumph
For ManaEUR?, their limited and hitherto stupidly hard to find first album
(I stopped looking when the one that turned up on ebay a year ago topped
A?200), has recently been reissued in Scandanavian countries as a 2-disc
set, which is nice, although the album is more twee than what follows, with
nonsense about pandas and balloons. Very eccentric song structures, though,
of which I approve.

 

IaEUR(tm)m interested by the fact that people, including me, tend to regard
the baseline of their appreciation of a band as the first recording they
connected with. I heard aEURoeHalf The WorldaEUR|aEUR? first, and so that is
the benchmark for me. aEURoeGlass Handed KitesaEUR?, despite featuring one
of the worst album covers I've ever seen ( http://tinyurl.com/34fmqu
<http://tinyurl.com/34fmqu>  - I think some people should be banned from
using Photoshop), is wildly prog, and no worse for that aEUR" it certainly
repays the effort of the first few listens. The leap of faith I have to make
with Mew is overcoming my aversion to very high male vocals (it shows how
shallow I am in that if the exact same album were released and I were led to
believe the vocals were female, my attitude would be totally different aEUR"
I blame the corrupting influence of Pinky and Perky), but they warrant the
effort, in my view. When talking with Jonas, the singer, I was startled to
find that his speaking voice is normally pitched aEUR" I had expected Tiny
Tim. Mew were adopted by REM, whom they supported many times on legs of
world tours, and I really dislike REM, but canaEUR(tm)t blame Mew for that!

I discovered them about a year or so, i listened -just by coincidence in the
radio- some tracks of their "and the Glass Handed Kites" CD and i was
curious, then i had the chance to listen the whole album about 4/5 times and
i found it awesome! The inflluence of Sigur Ros is very obvious but still
they have a sound of their own; there are some very pretty and melancholic
moments in their music and also some nice energetic tunes. It's a very nice
mix. I've listen some tunes of other early albums but i didn't found them as
good as the ones in "and the Glass Handed Kites". I know they released
another album "Triumph for Man", but haven't listened it yet... anybody? 

My two cents
