Visuals 11 months, 3 weeks ago · updated 11 months, 3 weeks agoWell, having spent a week with this record, I’m currently thinking it’s the best thing they’ve done since NMS. I really didn’t like +- (with the exception of Rows), it sounded like an album that had taken far too long to write and record. Which it was.
With Visuals, I thought I’d miss the Bo approach to guitar more than I actually do. And I…[Read more]

A completely agree. I did like +- but it was very strange. This album is way more coherent. I’d love a guitar solo in it somewhere but still, it is brilliant.
-
I feel the same. My favorite album from mew is NMS, and I think visuals is their second best now, cos for me it sounded more like what they’ve learned with no more, even if visuals has some more direct aspect in their music it stills sound fresh. Learn our Crystals is so beatiful, ay ay ay atmosferic. Im really happy with this record haha. Im…[Read more]

Visuals 11 months, 4 weeks ago · updated 11 months, 4 weeks agoHah, Pitchfork have said it’s tempting to view Mew as ‘Denmark’s answer to Coldplay’ in their Visuals review. Not sure that’ll go down well with everyone. Not a fantastic review…

Mew don’t have to image themselves as scoring transformers – they already did that haha!

Visuals 1 year ago · updated 12 months agoWhat are yours expectations about the album?. which album do you think that will sound close to visuals. Im really hoping for some no more stories vibes sometimes hahaha, it would be magical
-
I expect Visuals to be more heavily synth-based overall. More beats and unusual sounds for Mew – I think Jonas will be very heavily leading the album, and his taste will push the band in a sort of M83-esque synth pop meets Prefab Sprout vibe. I also feel that Mew will be less compelled to approach songs with a live sound in mind, and a lot of…[Read more]

And without Bo, Johan will possibly feel inclined to track some heavy guitars where appropriate. I know Mads will feature also, with arpgeggios and chords, filling out the soundscape in parts. Jonas might not feel the need to track any guitars – we’ll see.
-
I feel the same. But I would like something more interesting of it, twist quest was the closer, but I hope twist is really like some single, not one of the bests and uniques of the record. Im really hoping for some tricks of the trade kinda thing. It would be awsome

I’m expecting their most cohesive sounding album since ATGHK. Could be wrong though.
Expecting a lot less guitars too.
-
…so who else has heard the album?…
-
I have, a Japanese friend sent me the tracks. (I hope it’s okay that I admit that?)
I’m liking it way more than +-, but I still feel like the songs are a bit straight forward and “careful”. Not quite as twisty and turny as on the older albums, and not as many layers of sounds. But it’s still a really good album.
I expected Candy Pieces All…[Read more]
