I was lucky enough to see them live, and it was amazing. If the new songs were any indication of how good the album will be, it will totally be an AOTY contender for next year.
Overall it makes me a bit sad how criminally underrated/underappreciated this band is around here. It's hard for me to think of any other band on a hotter streak than Mew right now. Frengers, And the Glass Handed Kites and No More Stories... wow. Three spectacular albums. Personally, AtGHK is my favorite. It's progressive, epic and has all those shoegazy moments combined with beautiful dream pop melodies. No More Stories is a close second, and Frengers i would probably put as nr3 for now. It has some of their best songs, but there are a few songs that doesn't do AS much for me. About 50% of the album is brilliance, and the other half is mixed between decent-good-great.
