Mew is a Danish experimental dream-pop trio band that I discovered on my vacation in Iceland, the tight beat keeps you begging for more, they have that “new sound” that every indie lover seems to be trying find. Most of their songs are written and recorded in Brooklyn (but also in Copenhagen and the south of France) No More Stories Are Told Today / I’m Sorry They Washed Away / No More Stories The World Is Grey / I’m Tired Let’s Wash Away is the fifth studio album by Mew which radiates warmth, thanks to loads of percussion, hand claps, and choral vocals. It was released in Scandinavia on 17 August, the UK on 24 August, the U.S. on 25 August.

I wanted to share a few of their videos and songs, first my favorite, Introducing Palace Players.

The Knife: Colouring of Pigeons

Let me see if I got this right… “Colouring of Pigeons” is a free track from The Knife’s double cd “Tomorrow in a Year”, which is based on a Danish opera – which is in turn based on Charles Darwin’s book “On the Origin of the Species” in which he introduces the concept of natural selection to science. I think I pulled a brain muscle right there… But the song is good, despite being based on that silly “proof of evolution” bullshit.

Colouring of Pigeons

While listening to the song, I urge you to ponder how the hell it is we come from monkeys. You got about 11 minutes.

You can download the song and read more about the project here.
