What Visuals track or tracks do you like most? I really like Seeker Shivers the best.

Mewscellaneous 6 years, 3 months agoI’m curious – To those who own the Kites vinyl, do you notice any difference in fidelity or mastering when compared to the original CD and digital?

+- 7 years ago · updated 6 years, 9 months agoSo, with the dust finally settled on +-, how do people feel about the album these days?
Personally, I rank it as Mew’s worst, I have really tried to enjoy it but it just doesn’t inspire me.
-
Yes. Sometimes I feel that Mew have become too self-conscious of what they create, maybe? That they are constantly aware of their past, and try to push elements of it away. In 10 years we have had 2 albums, which is insane. A lot of time has been spent writing these songs, recording them, producing them. And for me (I can only speak for myself)…[Read more]
-
I agree – it’s a dissapointing album. With Bo out of the band, I find it hard to see them getting back to their ‘old’ level.
-
It’s not very cohesive and there are too many fadeouts, but I think it’s Mew’s best pop album. I like all the songs, but it lacks the full-length vision Mew normally apply to their albums.
-
I think songs like ‘Witness’, ‘Making Friends’, ‘Water Slides’, and ‘Interview The Girls’ are very mediocre compared to what Mew have done in the past. The album just feels less inspired.
-
With Witness and ITG I think they just shifted their ambitions towards making songs that were more straightforward structurally, and more melody-focussed. I think they’re successful efforts. Making Friends and Water Slides have their own quirks and unusual Mew-like qualities although they are maybe less bombastic or hard-hitting than some of Mew’s…[Read more]

I agree, sadly. Witness is really fun and Rows is beautiful, but that’s pretty much all I enjoy from +-. It kind of concerns me that this was the best they could come up with after 6 years of working on it.
-
I still listen to the album religiously. I love it much more now than I did when I first heard it. Witness and Waterslides seemed outright awful to me at first but I’ve grown to love them. Witness has an absolutely beautiful melody and is great both in the studio and stripped down. It undoubtedly sets the mood at the opening of their shows too.…[Read more]

Mewscellaneous 8 years, 1 month ago · updated 7 years agoDo you Frengers ever have things you wish Mew would do? Maybe a kind of wishlist? Mine would be for Silas to return to the older drum sounds he used around the Frengers and Kites eras, notably the snare. Since No More Stories, he has always had a really heavy, dampened, dry sound, and his snare is what my band’s drummer would call ‘tom-tuned’. Not…[Read more]
-
i want to hear Bo plays more guitar-centric songs like repeaterbeater, IPP, and more songs from Triumph
-
Call me ‘quaint’ if you like – but my biggest wish is for Mew’s history to repeat itself and for me to be younger this time round, so that I would have found them sooner
…In fact, now that I think of it, I wish I was a teenager going to their school when they were teens too, lol!
-
I’ve always wanted to get a closer look at the live visuals. They’re so amazing. Most youtube videos are so blurry, and even seeing them live there are so many lights and objects on stage distracting.
And while I’m very fond of both No More Stories and +-, I miss the ”dark” sound Kites had. Its dreamy sound and the nightmarish music videos and…[Read more] -
I have a lot of wishes as a Frenger. 1) For them to do a more refine remake of the song Nothing is Red 2) For them to perform King Christian, Nothing is Red, and Tsin-Tsai live for the 1st time, and 3) Maybe for them to do a cover of any songs 😉

Bjerre is philosophical in explaining the rationale, or indeed lack of rationale, behind the line-up changes. “We’ve been a band since we were in the eighth grade and sometimes people just need some time out, you know. As far as Bo is concerned, there were a lot…[Read more]
On Line-Up Changes And Finally Making It To Oz Thanks To MewstraliaJonas Bjerre is a pretty knowledgeable guy — despite chatting in a language not his own. But even he was unaware that Australia has recently displayed a great appetite for all things Danish.

Live Events 7 years, 9 months ago · updated 7 years, 9 months agoDo the moderators of this site know if Bo Madsen is permanently gone? Evidently they knew how long Mads Wegner had to rehearse to replace him so it is reasonable to assume that they know more details about this situation, as they have direct contact with Mew.
-
On my behalf, I can say that I have no information. I don’t think that even Mew know if it’s permanent or just a long break. It seems to be very much up to Bo. Mew is having big plans for future, so rest assured, that the band is not going anywhere anytime soon.
Here’s for the next 20 years!
-
Thanks, Tero. Sorry for the bluntness of my question.
-
No blunt at all.

http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/weekend/2015-08/08/content_21535508.htm
“Mew comprises Bjerre along with Johan Wohlert on bass, Silas Utke Graae Jorgensen on drums, and guitarist Mads Wegner, who in July replaced founding member Bo Madsen”
Is this official? Or simply the interpretation of the interviewer.
Out with the old, in with the mew[1]- Chinadaily.com.cnIt's no stretch to say that, when it comes to China's indie music scene right now, quirky is definitely in. So Danish alternative rock outfit Mew should feel right at home when they make their debut in China this month.
-
Seeing the new promo shot, is it possible that Nick Watts and Mads Wegner are officially becoming members of Mew? What do you guys think/know?
-
I have definitely been thinking about this as well! I am all in for Doctor Watts becoming an official member but I doubt it as he lives in England and has a family there. Dont know what I think about Mads Wegner becoming new official member as I have never heard any of his original music (If he has any original music), only parts already composed…[Read more]
-
I think it might make more sense for them to work as a five-piece than a trio without a guitarist. But they’ve always seemed to not be in favour of making other people official members. So who knows?
-
I have no issue with Watts becoming a member. He’s been with the band for yonks and he finally has a writing credit!

…any news from the inner circle concerning Bo?
-
-
Sounds fantastic. Such a shame that Bo was not there, though…
-
Amazing. Wish I had been there.
-
-
I actually started crying watching this, wow.
I’m super curious about the visuals, can’t really see them. -
The visuals were some kind of a choir of monkey like creatures who appeared to sing during the last part of the song! Also there were new visuals during a couple of other songs! I remember a song which included video of red Johan Wohlert sailing a boat or something (if I remember correctly) ! Cant remember which song thou!
-
i can feel that somehow the audience were completely blown away, especially the ones who never heard the song before
-
-
-
It seems almost like a “f**k you” to the rest of Mew that Bo could play here, but not with them.

+- 8 years, 1 month ago · updated 8 years, 1 month agoI know it is early, but I am wanting to put forward my “reading” of the album thus far. Without mentioning things that I shouldn’t, I feel like this album is about the idea of a couple who have built a life and home together, and the protagonist finds a lot of beauty and comfort in the simple things shared, but that cracks emerge, distance and…[Read more]

I actually don’t feel as if the partner walks out. I find most of your analysis spot-on (I was just thinking about this on my way to the computer), but I think it’s mainly about getting used to a relationship being something trivial , and learning to find your place in a progressed relationship as a person both beyond his “golden” years and…[Read more]
-
Yeah, definitely. I need to decipher more of the lyrics to make better sense of the whole picture. But I do get a strong “domestic” vibe. It almost seems as if the album begins with the relationship in an earlier stage, then some issues come up (The Night Believer seems to be possibly about the rock-star life? A guy who wants to go out and ‘have…[Read more]
-
Thinking about CTROYO in the context that you have mentioned makes a lot of sense. The protagonist is saying “Hey, I know this isn’t a perfect hollywood romance anymore, but I will do my best to be good to you, and look after you, and if you can do the same, that’s enough for me”
-
-
-
All I got is that there is a wolf which is mentioned to have been “set up” at the end of track three, but in the middle eight of track seven it is related that wolves have passed away, although the narrator doesn’t inform us of the cause of death.
-
ya i noticed this too. poor wolves

Guess their circuitry wasn’t good enough.

I love that we’re hearing a lot more of Johan singing. He’s got a good voice.

He was co-lead singer of a band quite often for about 6 years, no?

‘ay ay ay’ followed by ‘learn our crystals’ is the bit I like the most. Love the ‘to dream’ and ‘to me’-scream in the end of the verses in the latter track. Also the opener ‘nothingness and no regrets’ is quite nice actually.
