Why do we like this?

Dramatic musical build-up and epic releases and the distinctive high range vocals of Jonas Bjerre -- this is indicative of the Danish band Mew. I've been following them for a good decade now, and for a band that's now 20 years old, they come at music each time with a fresh, yet consistent, perspective. "Carry Me To Safety" is a perfect example. 

It's got hits of "Am I Wry" and "Comforting Sounds" from 2003's Frengers. And if that means this new album will have a strong anchor in their older material, then it's going to be good.

You may know of them after 2015's breakthrough with +- but it's worth exploring their history and now, their upcoming future. "Carry Me To Safety" will be onVisuals, released in April.

By Brontë Martin on Apr 1, 2013 | Is this song stunning, or what? Phoria's "Red" "combines beguiling melodies, elegant arrangements and ethereal vocals" (according to the song description) to produce something reminiscent of Sigur Ros or James Blake. Based out of Brighton, Britain, P... read more →
