Free Music Review: A Unique Sonic Tapestry
Hit: 4 Stars
It's hard to describe Mew. The closest I can get is that they're a cross between early 70's Yes, Enya and Shudder to Think, with some late 80's alt-rock thrown in on top. One of the many categories they've been put under is "new prog," (Muse, Porcupine Tree) but those references don't do this CD much justice. You just have to hear it.
They do a nice job of creating sonic and dreamy landscapes while simultaneously creating some beautifully haunting melodies over shifting drum beats and edgy rhythms. There are times when I just cannot get the melodies out of my head - even the more odd ones. One day it's one song - the next day it's another. Every song has a unique fingerprint but they are all fantastic.
The only negative thing about this CD is that the rest of my collection has been woefully neglected! "Kites" is like a drug, where I need to get my fix everyday. If I don't... Oh well, the songs are stuck in my head anyway!
Definitely one of the most original sounding bands I've heard in the last several years. Highly recommended.
And the Glass Handed Kites Poster
Producing dark and atmospheric songs, Mew posses a graceful beauty and create an epic sound with strikingly memorable tunes over which delicate vocals soar to angelic heights. Two years after their award-winning debut album Frengers wowed the critics, the Danish four-piece's follow-up, And The Glass Handed Kites is the fourth album for the dream-pop four piece but only the second to be available to a worldwide audience. Mew And The Glass Handed Kites features 14 total tracks including 'Apocalypso', 'Chinaberry Tree', 'A Dark Design', 'White Lips Kissed', 'The Zookeeper's Boy', 'Small Ambulance' and more. BMG. 2005.The Fourth Album from the Quartet of Danes is their Most Ambitious Yet as They Break Through to a Higher Plane of Artistry. The Variety of Instruments Employed and the Sheer Enormity of the Sound Put them in a Class with Sigur Ros, the Mars Volta, Radiohead, Super Furry Animals, Muse and Others who Consistently Try to Push Rock's Boundaries and Progressiveness.
