Mew and the Glass Handed Kites
“Danish band takes fairly normal indie reference points-- Radiohead, My Bloody Valentine-- and turns them into lavish, stratospheric, fairy-tale prog.”
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 (Bonus Track Version)
“Danish prog-pop maestros, here sporting an absurdly long album title, consolidate everything that's made them interesting to date.”

“The blinding, gilded tone of +- is charming rather than obnoxious because Mew never use their exquisite and excessive tastes to glorify themselves as rock overlords. Their songs continue to be sweet, almost twee at their core.”
Visuals
“The seventh album from Mew suggests the Danish alt-rock trio could say more with less. It’s a pop record with a light outer frosting of edginess.”
Visuals
“Danish prog/indie rock group Mew typically take several years off in between albums, but their seventh full-length, Visuals, comes just two years after 2015's +- and marks their first without guitarist Bo Madsen. The quick turnaround time, combined with the absence of one of their founding members, is noticeable, and marks a slight shift in Mew's usual dynamic of sharp, irregular melodies and glow”
