Mew - And The Glass Handed Kites (2005; Columbia Records)



I first found about Mew from a Myspace friend who had one of their songs on his profile. (Don't let the cheesey cover art throw you off!!) I sampled the CD tracks on Amazon, bought the CD at Best Buy and instantly fell in love !

Mew is an indie/symphonic rock band from Denmark. The band formed themselves around the year of 2003.

The ballads on And The Glass Handed Kites are heavily symphonic and are quite relaxing to listen to and the tracks overlap each other and flow together like Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd . My favorite songs off of this album would have to be The Zookeeper's Boy, Apocalypso, Special and Why Are You Looking Grave?

I like how the band uses figures of speech in the song The Zookeeper's Son :

I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this album to those who like alternative music!

Never heard of them.

Holy s**t I'm listening to them right now!! ! They're Danish, which is a plus.
My mommy is from Denmark.

I'll have to Limewire them.

The lead guy looks nice.

Symphonic METAL!

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS SYMPHONIC ROCK!

1995.

'Kites' is their 4th album. Probably the first to get an American release though, so I see how you'd think otherwise.

Mew Too

Wikipedia says there is such a thing (although Wikipedia isn't always 100% accurate...)

<3 Nik og Jay.

As if.

Like Apocalyptica?

There symphonic metal.

One of their singles was the iTunes free single of the week a while back. I probably stilll have it, but I forget if it was good. You guys seem to like it though.

"Apocalypso". Good song, good band.
