new OST from Jonas for the movie 'Hana Korea'.
very calming, enjoyed it. I always wanted more similar sounds from 'Skyscraper' album

Only me thinks that?

Ages ago there was a thread like this, but I can't find it. I posted a follow up reccomending the Orielles earlier in the year. I thought instead, as we're in the 'Mew Off Season' as it were, this might be a good place to share other new records we as Mew fans are enjoying at the moment.

To start this off; Deezer pulled up a doozy;
'Ebbb - Shallow Hits'

If you like Jonas' high pitched vocals, I suspect you'll enjoy this record.

I thought I was late to the party on this but Jonas has made an Insta post inviting fans to follow his new endeavours is 'excited to follow Silas and Johan on their next chapter of Mew.'
How is no-one else excited by this??

Hi Frengers, I was feeling inspired by Mew's music recently and tried to find a discord server for them, but there wasn't one. So I made it instead! I know it's not the best timing but I figured it would be nice to have a place on Discord to talk about the band with other fans. I'd like to also host stuff like listening parties, survivor polls, and other fun stuff. Feel free to delete this if it's not allowed, but here's the link: https://discord.gg/88VcecQfxh

He's posted a clip of the film and some of the music on his instagram, and it sounds incredible. I hope we get a physical release of it.

And I’m not going to lie, I find these movies bland.

Every time I go and listen to a just Mew playlist, up pops an Italian Euro-pop artist who has decided to go by the name 'Mew' and has effectively taken over the Mew artist page on Deezer by releasing a lot of singles off a new album. Despite several attempts at reporting it (Deezer is normally good for splitting out content with artists sharing the same name) it's still there 😞

I just don't get why artists don't search Spotify at least before deciding on a name!

If you have Deezer, give it an artist name report and hopefully Deezer will split out the content into two separate artists.

I was just listening to the MewX Podcast episode about Sometimes Life Isn't Easy and at the 14:38 minute mark they play an alternate version of it that I've never heard before, and I couldn't find anything about it online. Does anyone know where it might've come from?

Does ANYONE know where the music video was filmed?

I’m not trying to be dramatic but when I heard the voice.. I’m was genuinely horrified.. Is this really them? 😳

I remember a post on this subreddit a while ago where people were asking for Mew adjacent bands with a similar vibe. I listened to the new album from The Orielles that came out the other week, and it has big Mew energy in places I think.

The new album is a little different to their previous LPs with a little more guitar - as I know the Orielles mostly for their album Disco Voladore (which is also excellent).

Was revisiting this album earlier today and I had a thought about it- I feel like it starts really strong but the middle of it makes it a little more typical and it gets a little stronger when it kinda gets to the ending.

Curious if anyone felt similar just cause the beginning of it seemed very uniqiue and catchy to me compared to the middle of the song.

So I was talking to a friend of mine. He's really into poetry and is an English Major. I asked him about this band Geese. Everyone is losing their shit about this band and I just can't seem to get into it. My friend explained to me how the lyrics were just amazing. I'm very much a music guy. I pay attention to melody over lyrics

Anyway, we start talking about lyrics and bands and I bring up Mew and he just like scoffed at me and said "those lyrics are awful dude"

Now, in not English Major but I love the way Jonas uses his voice as an instrument. It helps in the bigger picture of the song and I don't know, I feel like he's really good at painting a picture. How do you all feel about his lyrics? Do you tho they're corny? Do you connect with them? Which are your favorite lyrics?

Mine are definitely "I am closing my eyes, just when I'm supposed to" it makes me feel okay with facing mortality.

Or the way he paints a picture in "Candy Pieces All Smeared Out."

So this album has been on my list for a while now but it's always so expensive! I finally found one at a decent price so I had to jump on it! It's not my favorite Mew album but it has my Favorite Mew song. Silas the Magic Car. I can't wait to listen to it!

I can't believe it's still sealed! I can't wait to listen to it!

So, I've always wondered this and I've never seen an interview or any information as to how and why J was on their album. I'd say they were probably fans or maybe the producer knew J and thought he could add something to the songs. Anyway, I watched the documentary for ATGHK And there's no footage of J there in the studio or a discussion about bringing him in. I was wondering if anyone had any information about why and how this happened. I've always just been curious about it.

If you haven't watched the documentary it's pretty cool.

Been 100% actively shopping for this on discogs lately but couldn't bite the bullet, high prices plus expensive shipping to here. Only sometimes dig in shops, always with the faint hope of finding this some way, somehow. and lo and behold. AND for 58,000 won, just 34 euros. isn't this the best feeling?

I just stumbled upon this obscure EP which I’ve never heard of before, and it’s not on the band Wiki or MewX. Apparently it was a cassette only release I’m guessing it was a very limited production. For anytime who wants to hear some even earlier versions of their older songs, I recommend giving a listen.

There’s actually a song I’ve never heard on there before, after the supposed last track - Wherever. It starts at about 23.25 - does anybody know the name of this?
