## Description

Product Description








Producing dark and atmospheric songs, Mew possess a graceful beauty and create an epic sound with strikingly memorable tunes over which delicate vocals soar to angelic heights. Two years after their award-winning debut album Frengers wowed the critics, the Danish four-piece&apos;s follow-up, And The Glass Handed Kites is the fourth album for the dream-pop four piece but only the second to be available to a worldwide audience. Mew And The Glass Handed Kites features 14 total tracks including &quot;Apocalypso&quot;, &quot;Chinaberry Tree&quot;, &quot;A Dark Design&quot;, &quot;White Lips Kissed&quot;, &quot;The Zookeeper&apos;s Boy&quot;, &quot;Small Ambulance&quot; and more.

Not a lot of bands make records like And The Glass-Handed Kites anymore. Grandiose in conception and epic in scope, it puts Mew in a rarefied circle of bands--Sigur Ros, The Mars Volta--pushing at rock&#x92;s glass ceiling in the hope of breaking through to some brave new plane.  Those looking for a quick fix may be frightened off by the opening &quot;The Circuitry Of The Wolf&quot;, tangles of Sonic Youth guitar and distorted drums synchronised into sinister, driving riffs. Persist, though, for it&#x92;s not long until the ice begins to crack: &quot;Apocalypso&quot; is rent by bursts of spectacular tunefulness and glimmering xylophone passages, before melding imperceptibly into &quot;Special&quot;, one of the album&#x92;s more delightfully restrained moments. &quot;The Zoopkeeper&#x92;s Boy&quot;, meanwhile, imagines Mercury Rev holidaying within the Arctic Circle, chiming guitars and curiously zoological lyrics melding into something quite unique.  If there&#x92;s a problem to And The Glass Handed Kites, it that Mew constantly seem to reaching for the stars--a noble aim, but one that, across 55 minutes, can be quite wearing. Like Sigur Ros, they&#x92;re a band for a time and a place, the peak of slow-moving glaciers, the honeymoon suite of the ice hotel. Don&#x92;t overplay them, or they lose their magic. --Louis Pattison

    TENDER and THOUGHTFUL.

It absolutely astonishes me sometimes, how a band like this can go unnoticed for so long and yet be SO freakin' good!!! This is my first foray into their music and as a lover of ' Mercury Rev ' and ' MGMT ' I have found soul-mates in ' MEW '. Orchestral, lavish and sprawling, their music is soulful, intelligent and thoughtful, a perfect accompaniment for a Hot Summer's Day. Oh MEW...you have melted my heart!!!

It rarely gets better than this. Definitely the finest of Mews releases that I've heard, this is an incredible album that'll grow on you and stay there. It's one of those epics were every track blends into the next but the massive variation between songs means you'll never be confused and the album never drags. Beautiful songs and excellent muscianship.
