Mew – No More Stories EP

If this EP is any indication of Mew’s upcoming full length album then it signals a less grand direction. It still has odd rhythms and high/low octave harmonies which are no surprise. But it seems more simplified than And The Glass Handed Kites. The ambient keyboards are present to offer much the same mood but it’s toned down for a cleaner sound. Overall, it’s not much different than you would expect. But that’s good. Because Mew is good. They are always ambassadors for something out of the ordinary. There are only 5 songs but it’s a nice little stocking stuffer before Santa brings us the real thing. It’s a Mew fan’s Red Rider BB gun. I can’t wait.
