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 bHalf
The World Is Watching Meb, as it features stronger versions of several songs
from bFrengersb, particularly b156b, bAm I Wry? Nob and bComforting
Soundsb. bA Triumph For Manb, 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 B#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.

 

Ibm 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 bHalf The Worldb first, and so that is the
benchmark for me. bGlass Handed Kitesb, despite featuring one of the worst
album covers I've ever seen ( http://tinyurl.com/34fmqu - I think some
people should be banned from using Photoshop), is wildly prog, and no worse
for that b 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 b 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 b 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
canbt 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
