Re: MEW

yeah I hope so. It's been a long 3 years for myself as a fan.

Re: MEW

I really can't wait for this. And I really hope I get to see them live eventually. Maybe with NIN.

Re: MEW

that's in Europe. Got plans to be in Europe this Summer Trathena?

They're playing Pitchfork in Chicago this Summer, but you have to buy a ticket for the whole festival I think, not just for Mew.

No, I was just wasted when I wrote that. ::giggle::

No way I could. Hell, I'm lucky I'm getting to see Explosions this summer, and Porcupine Tree this fall. Somehow, I'd like to fit Tori Amos in. My new duties with my job have severely curtailed travel time for things like this.

It's kind of depressing.

Re: MEW

I probably won't be seeing them this summer atleast. The only show they have booked in Sweden is Storsjöyran. I already have two festivals booked in this summer. Can't possibly afford and fit in one more.

Re: MEW

Re: MEW



Epic Danish rockers Mew don't do anything halfway. They make big music with big guitars and big vocals that suggest nothing less than the beautiful, horrible end of the world. And they're readying their follow-up to 2006 breakout LP And the Glass-Handed Kites for release August 25 in the U.S., August 24 in the UK, and August 17 in Scandinavia via Columbia. (That mutated circus clown/butterfly thing is the cover.) And, going with the prog-like scope, the album title isn't a word or even a group of words as much as it's a poem:

No more stories
Are told today
I'm sorry
They washed away

No more stories
The world is grey
I'm tired
Let's wash away

Yep, that's the album title. (How about we just call it No More Stories... for the time being?) As if that wasn't crazy enough, the tracklisting features tiny photos of the same circus clown/butterfly shown on the cover as the titles for two tracks. Yes, the track titles are pictures, not words.

Mew hit the road this summer, touring with Nine Inch Nails in Europe and playing the Pitchfork Music Festival in July.

Re: MEW

Oh man, what is with with Mew and horrible horrible album artwork? lol

[SoundscapeMN]

Re: MEW

Frengers wasn't bad, but yeah, Kites is a silly cover and that kind of is too. I've seee worse tho.

[Knifeboy]

Re: MEW

yeah, Frengers is good. But really, Kites just looks so amateurish. And this one is ugly and kind of scary tbh

Good thing there's no correlation between the artwork and the quality of the music!

[SimpatiK]

Re: MEW

I think their artwork is kinda awesome. Everything does not have to be esthetically appealing to be awesome.

Re: MEW

True, Simpatik...

Anyone heard that the date for the album is August 25th? I was alerted to this just now on another board...
