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.

Review

Entertainment Weekly (p.67) - "Mew surge forth on dark, driving guitars, overwhelming vocal melodies, and retro-sounding synths...they deliver tunes perfect for a planetarium light show." -- Grade: B

Title Note

With AND THE GLASS HANDED KITES, Danish band Mew pushes past the varied excellences of their previous album, FRENGERS, to create an album that is as ambitious as it is disarming. The smooth, androgynous dream-pop moves through unusual time structures, one song transitioning fluidly into the next. There are solid if gentle rock numbers, too, led by some truly excellent drumming. Jonas Bjerre's lyrics, though occasionally difficult to catch, are surreal and inventive, and J. Mascis, formerly of Dinosaur Jr., guests on two tracks as well. There is an epic feel to this album, the soaring vocals and synths pushing the band toward a sound and a feeling that is just enormous.
