Mew - And The Glass Handed Kites (2005)
OK, I won’t piss around. This is one of the most pretentious, grandiose and utterly brilliant albums in my entire collection.
commentsThis Danish band is just extraordinary. Their record, 2005’s “And the Glass Handed Kites” is an epic masterpiece that demands at least a yearly, uninterrupted aural immersion.
“Comporting Sounds”, all 9 minutes of it, from 2003’s “Frengers” is one of the most perfect anthems I’ve ever heard.
Seemingly a band that can do no wrong, this record just continues to reinforce that.
Not really having any motivation to play much this evening, I immediately reached for Mew. What a fabulous choice!
BTW Kiwi Kimbra sings on the track “The Night Believer”.
