Hello, Frengers...
- And the Glass Handed Kites has been well received by critics. James Christopher Monger of AllMusic gave the album a positive review, writing 'Fans of OK Computer-era Radiohead, My Bloody Valentine, and Disintegration-era Cure will find And the Glass Handed Kites one of the most breathtaking things to come along since the dawn of the dream pop/post-punk genres themselves.'
- And the Glass Handed Kites Mew Rock 2006; Listen on Apple Music. Listen on Apple Music. TITLE TIME; 1 Circuitry of the Wolf 2:44: 2 Chinaberry Tree 3:33.
The album is strongly segued (i.e. 'Mixed' in Format) and works as a continuous progression of musical themes. Recorded at Michael's Place, Venice Beach, California, 2004, except track 13 recorded at Mox Studios, Copenhagen, 2005. And the Glass Handed Kites is the 4th full-length studio album by Danish experimental Pop/ rock act Mew. Mew broke into the commercial mainstream with their previous album Frengers (2003) but proved that commercial success doesn´t always equal shallow music.
To celebrate the 15th anniversary of 'And The Glass Handed Kites' we will be playing a series of live shows in 2020. These shows will feature music from the album, some rarely heard B-Sides and more from our entire catalog.
We're pleased to announce the first round of shows in London, Helsinki, Copenhagen, Oslo & Tromsø.
Tickets will be on-sale on Saturday* HERE.
*London Royal Festival Hall on sale Friday
“In all the years since its inception, we have never attempted to play this sequence of songs live in that same manner. Next year, we intend to make that attempt.” - Jonas Bjerre
