Mew Artist Snapshot:

One of Denmark's most lauded bands, Mew specializes in amped-up art-rock. The group's dramatic and dynamic sound was honed in the late 1990s, but came to full fruition on its 2003 major-label debut, FRENGERS, which showcases both Mew's shoegazer leanings and its bold, stadium-ready aesthetic. Issued in '05, AND THE GLASS HANDED KITES further explored Mew's heavier side and expanded its international following. With a guest appearance by Dinosaur Jr.'s J. Mascis (on "Why Are You Looking Grave?"), KITES also pointed to Mew's considerable debt to early `90s alt-rock, an influence proudly embraced by the Danish ensemble.

Title Note

Originally issued in 2003, FRENGERS marks the international debut of the Danish alternative-rock band Mew. Led by emotive frontman Jonas Bjerre, the group offers up a compelling, guitar-driven mix of energy and atmosphere on this 10-song outing, drawing from both early-1990s shoegazer bands (Ride, Catherine Wheel) and their more mainstream counterparts (Smashing Pumpkins), as best revealed on the soaring "156" and the upbeat yet contemplative "Her Voice Is Beyond Her Years," which features Stina Nordenstam on vocals. Mew would expand on the heavier elements of FRENGERS on the subsequent AND THE GLASS HANDED KITES, an album that garnered the ensemble even more attention and acclaim.
