MewAnd the Glass Handed KitesSony
Mew’s “And The Glass Handed Kites” is pure, dreamy space rock-a memorable record that will convince your ears that a haunting introspection is the most pleasurable state of mind. Hailing from Denmark, Mew manifest an elegant and epic catharsis of the soul that will prove an unforgettable listen- perhaps because they can touch so well the feeling of worldly disintegration, in a similar vein to “My Bloody Valentine’s” “Loveless.” This experience flows like a dream, with subtle and efficient transitions between the tracks that give the album rich unity. Strangely enough, Mew’s popularity has not yet spread across the Atlantic; although it has only recently become available in most record stores with good taste in the U.S. after it was released in Europe in October 2005.
