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

Not sure that’ll go down well with everyone. Not a fantastic review…

Like a weird mix of Comforting Sounds, Louise Louisa and Sometimes Life Isn’t Easy. Completely awesome.

Got a fairly ‘meh’ response. Then played her Circuitry and Chinaberry, and she said ‘Oh my God, they sounded like that?! Now that’s properly good.’ Goes to show how much they’ve changed (inevitably). I do wish they still sounded Kites-era though…although…Read more

Especially Witness, a track I’ve been skipping on the album, due to just not getting on with the production/instrumentation of it.

It’s an ok album. And, sadly, that’s not what I need from Mew after more than half a decade.

There’s nothing I skip on Frengers, Kites or No More Stories, but this one is chock full of skippables.

The only ones I’m still interested in hearing at the moment are Clinging To A Bad Dream, Interview The Girls, and Rows. Although I do like…Read more

I don’t think I’m going to get a chance to see them this time round, and when they only actually turn up every six years or something, that’s a bit of a shame.

I’d rather not see them do another festival set (have seen a couple, and they were good but obviously short). Any chance of them…Read more

We just thought it’d be fun to attempt the Jonas vocal acrobatics.

I think I can sing usually, but probably not quite up to Jonas’ range…his voice is bonkers.

Me (and Liz) singing Mew without auto-tune is not a pleasant experience! People’s ears might have fallen off.

Was a little hesitant back then to admit that the Mewtants was me, as was aware that the ‘unique’ autotune/cheap synth combo could well inspire hatred! Bit of an acquired taste.

We were originally going to do the whole album, but real life got in the way. Probably for the best.

But everything I’ve heard from +- so far has just seemed so normal compared to what I’ve come to expect from Mew. Hopefully there’ll be some odd stuff on there.

Doesn’t stop me missing the old sound though. Though part of that might be nostalgia for my mid-twenties.

I was excited about No More Stories coming out, but that didn’t equal or top Kites (as much as I do like it) and I have a horrible feeling that +- won’t…Read more

Which I think is a bit of a shame. I like all their weird time signature/phrasing bits. It’s what makes them Mew.
