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 “Half The World Is
Watching Me”, as it features stronger versions of
several songs from “Frengers”, particularly
“156”, “Am I Wry? No” and “Comforting
Sounds”. “A Triumph For Man”, 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 £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.

 

I’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 “Half The World…” first, and so that is
the benchmark for me. “Glass Handed Kites”,
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 – 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 – 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 – 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 can’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
