Epic Danish rockers Mew don't do anything halfway. They make big music with big guitars and big vocals that suggest nothing less than the beautiful, horrible end of the world. And they're readying their follow-up to 2006 breakout LP And the Glass-Handed Kites for release August 25 in the U.S., August 24 in the UK, and August 17 in Scandinavia via Columbia. (That mutated circus clown/butterfly thing is the cover.) And, going with the prog-like scope, the album title isn't a word or even a group of words as much as it's a poem:
No more stories Are told today I'm sorry They washed away
No more stories The world is grey I'm tired Let's wash away
Yep, that's the album title. (How about we just call it No More Stories... for the time being?) As if that wasn't crazy enough, the tracklisting features tiny photos of the same circus clown/butterfly shown on the cover as the titles for two tracks. Yes, the track titles are pictures, not words.
Mew hit the road this summer, touring with Nine Inch Nails in Europe and playing the Pitchfork Music Festival in July.
Check out the No More Stories... tracklist below.

Just to field with you Switching seats with you, Tears us apart I don't want it to.
So peculiar Fix the two of us I am not yourself. I didn't want it to.

What are we going to do? What would we like you to view? Turn out the lights as we planned It's gonna hurt, I don't want it to.

I've only heard And the Glass Handed Kites, which was the most studio-powered sound I've heard from any band in a long, long while...made it hard for me to even judge the music enough to evaluate, with that much EQ, reverb, and delay swarmed in.

I hear a lot of polyrythms and other interesting things going on that are part of the music. Does it matter where the execution of he musical idea takes place, so long as it actually takes place?
