After a great year for new music, I’ve found myself listening to albums on repeat more and more. I’m aware of the popular opinion that the practice of repeat listening could kind of “wear out” the songs, but frankly that rarely happens to me. I stand firm with saying screw it, if it’s good enough to want to listen to it on a loop, I’ll do it. But, in the interest of not seeming like an absolute monster, I’ve decided to switch it up. So I looked back into my iTunes, which is something that I recommend doing. It’s such a trip to look back into your collection.
Looking through I found so many forgotten artists. Being that I enjoy finding new bands, it’s inevitable that some will get lost. But the rebirth of these bands was exciting enough to want to share. So in the first installment of Weekly Flashback, I present Mew.
Mew is an awesome Danish band that I used to listen to when I was in middle and high school. I honestly have no idea how I found them or who showed them to be, but I do remember being completely obsessed with them for months. They have a very recognizable full sound that I just love. I love music that is a little strange or weird. I love inventive use of percussion and interesting full sounding instrumentation. Without a doubt my attraction to those things stems from Mew. They really do it best. Now, they are working on their sixth album and continue to be as they say “the only indie arena band in the world”.
