History Music / Mew

* {{Bishonen}}: Pretty much all of them, but [[http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zx8McTIoegY/TSX4Ve0WWQI/AAAAAAAAALM/b4ySn_dLHJQ/s1600/3919213690_2497900b07.jpg the lead singer]] qualifies especially.

* ''[[OverlyLongTitle 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]]'' (2009)

* OverlyLongTitle: Their fifth album's title, often shortened to ''No More Stories...''.
** Humorously inverted by ''+ -''.

* AwesomeMcCoolName: Their drummer Silas Utke Graae Jørgensen. Seriously.

* LyricalDissonance: "156" seems to be sung by a stalker and has some slightly unsettling lines, but the song itself is very calm. "Hawaii" has a very cheerful tune but the lyrics are quite sad.

** ''Visuals'' takes a kaleidoscope theme that [[UpToEleven ramps up the surrealness.]]

Mew is a band from Denmark that makes IndiePop most of the time (in other cases, their music is...[[NeoclassicalPunkZydecoRockabilly less definable]]). After releasing their first 2 albums on indie labels strictly in their home country, Mew were signed by Creator/EpicRecords in 2003, which handled the distribution of all their subsequent records worldwide.

* MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness: Like most indie pop, 1-3. Spots on ''Kites'' and ''+/-'' dip as far as 6, but for the most part the band stays south of there.

* MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness: Like most indie pop, 1-3.

They have an [[http://www.mewsite.com/ official website,]] by the way.

* StylisticSuck: The sleeves of all albums are notoriously bad. Mew became somewhat acclaimed for their atrocious cover art.

* TranslatedCoverVersion: They did a version of their own "White Lips Kissed", [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIE2p5XABnU in [[GratuitousJapanese Japanese!]].]]

** Humorously inverted by their next album, ''+ -''.

* EpicRocking: "Comforting Sounds" is almost 9 minutes long.

* PeripheryDemographic: The band's material appeals both to alternative rock and pop audiences. It is hard to say which camp Mew belongs to; fans occasionally argue which label fits best, the band itself does not seem to care, referring to themselves as "dream pop" or "the only stadium indie pop band in the world".

* ''Colours'' (2017)

* RearrangeTheSong: ''Frengers'' is their first international release and features completely new songs plus some rearranged songs from their first two albums.

* FaceOnTheCover: Sort of; the artwork for ''+ -'' features the band members incarnated as caricatured, anthropomorphic eggshells, something of which has been apart of the band's art theme since ''No More Stories''.

The lineup consists of Jonas Bjerre (lead vocals), Bo Madsen (guitar), Silas Utke Graae Jørgensen (drums) and Johan Wohlert (bass). In 2006 the bassist left the band to spend more time with his family, and the band was a 3-piece until summer 2014, when they confirmed he was back on board.
