Here it is... the Mew's thread in MS

For ones who haven't heard of this band, they're 3 (in the past, 4) talented musicians from Denmark, playing a music which can be described as Indie/Art Rock or, as the band once referred themselves, 'Pretentious Art Rock'. They've released 4 albums so far, and i can say that all of them are really really good, especially the breakthrough 'Frengers' (i was totally impressed since the very first minute of this album).

The unique point about this band, to me, is the voice of Jonas (think of something so soft and ethereal then you may have an idea of his voice. The first time i listened to Jonas' vocals in 'Am I Wry?No" i even thought like 'whawww this GIRL rocks!!' ). In addition the guitar parts are also excellent, i know this sounds strange but sometimes they remind me of Dream Theater (though really don't know why )

And if you want a try, here are some links for you :

So, that's it, what do you think about these guys?

I honestly think they are overrated big time...and I really don't like the voice of the vocalist. He's so annoying when he tries to cry his heart out

To me his voice is OK , and i don't think they're overrated... well, maybe And The Glass Handed Kites is a bit 'commercial' in some songs but Frengers is simply amazing... Anyway we can have different opinions and that's fine

@duyhung: yeah sure we can...the overrated part is mainly because they got so much air time on the radiostations here whenever they released something and that was very annoying if you didn't like the music and everybody was constantly talking about them...a lot of my friends like them for some reason

I really love Mew. They're one of my favourites. Some of their songs, easpecially from the two first albums, tend to be a bit average, but then again some of the other songs are so fantastic that I get goose bumps just from thinking about them. "Comforting sounds" and "White Lips Kissed" are among the best songs I know of. I've seen them live two times, both shows were great.

I've seen them at Rockefeller, Norway, and at the Norwegian Wood festival, which is of course also in Norway, both shows in 2006.

Does anybody know if they're planning a new album yet? I want more Mew!

Hmm no news recently , i remember once Bo has said that they were hoping to release the new album in the beginning of 2008, but it's December now and still there is nothing new...., i'm afraid it'll be delayed.

However do they plan to find a replacement for Johan or the band will remain as a trio?

I can see why a lot of people wouldn't like the vocalist, he is a bit cutesy and frail. I think that kinda makes the beauty of the music they write though.

Excuse me while I stick on "Frengers".

Haha yeah, if you search for "Mew" on Google, especially Google Images, most of the results will be about that Pokemon. I do find it pretty annoying sometimes

@ Omni : same here, can't get enough of Frengers

Well, Mew is a legendary Pokémon, so it' no surprising most results are about him.

According to their MySpace, they've just left for New York to get something started...and that might mean a new album
