March 24, 2015  •  Leave a Comment
LOS ANGELES, CA  (Tuesday, March 24, 2015) -- Just back from SXSW, Danish indie/rock band MEW has made available a special acoustic version of their new song "Satellites."  You can check out the track here.
 
The original version of the song is included on  " + - " (plus minus), the band's first new album in six years, set for an April 28 North American release (P.I.A.S. America), and already receiving great feedback:  "...it's a gorgeous piece of work that lives up to the advance single 'Satellites.'" (Yahoo! Music)..."Mew is grander, geekier and more enigmatic than ever." (MTV)
 
Mew spent a whirlwind week at SXSW where they did interviews, sessions and several showcases - "majestic prog-pop" (Austin Chronicle)..."At the Under the Radar party, Mew immaculately displayed the power of precision musicianship...it s a big jaw-dropping how skilled they are." (mxdwn)
 
The new music on " + - " soars.  It's alive, it's vibrant and spacious.  Its skewed pop sensibilities coupled with an ever expansive musical backdrop denotes the extremities of Mew's creative DNA, showing once more a band treading its own unique path.  The album was recorded in Copenhagen, produced by Grammy-nominated Michael Beinhorn (Hole, Soundgarden, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Violent Femmes) and Mew with mixing duties undertaken by Rich Costey.  "+- " also features an appearance from Bloc Party guitarist Russell Lissack on "My Complications," a song he co-wrote that came to fruition having met Mew on a U.S. tour some years ago.
 
Mew kicks off its world tour in May with a series of headline shows and appearances at major European festivals, and will return to North America for a full tour late summer/fall 2015.
