The sound engineers at KEXP are seriously the best. These videos the most amazingly documented performances on RU-vid. Also, Mew are amazing. Such a great band and sound perfect live.
Love Mew. Definitely more a fan of their older material but no matter what they play it's beautiful, seeing them on KEXP was a nice surprise. Hope these guys just keep churning out albums forever, regardless of any stylistic drifts along the way.
@@runningcoyote9972 IMO, their ultimate album is And the Glass Handed Kites. The vocal, the guitar, the drum, & the bass sounds were at their peak of harmony. The flow of each song is unique.
@@P.Whitestrake Album The Glass Handed Kites the best album by Mew before album Visual was released. For me Visual is the best album but that's my opinion and you don't have to be agreed.
@@P.Whitestrake I don't know. I think it's really hard to pick. Frengers was a pretty freaking awesome album, but my favorite album probably has to be A Triumph For Man. Half The World Is Watching is also album holds a special place in my heart because it brings me back when my wife and I started dating.
Sadly..... Jonas Bjerre/singer just announced that he is leaving the band after their next two and last 30 year jubilee concerts in Denmark next year. The 29th of May in Aarhus Congress Center and 31th of May in Royal Arena Copenhagen, 2025 .. Tickets open September the 13th at 10.00 am central European Time.. 😢
People are so accustomed to his higher vocals that they forget he has a fantastic overall range that more than just hitting high notes (me included). He's an amazing singer.
I miss him too. I feel that Mew's soul is strong because of Jonas' voice & Bo's guitar. Without Bo, Mew sounds different. Still good but different. His guitar play makes Mew's music sounds very unique.
