Danish alt-rockers Mew, who broke through two years ago with the release of their deliciously good third album 'And the Glass Handed Kites', have wrapped sessions on their fourth studio album.
Recorded and mixed primarily in New York, the as yet untitled album is on target for a June 2009 release.
According to singer Jonas Bjerre, the biggest change for Mew this time around was keeping their recording timeline down to a minimum. "We were in agreement when we started writing this record, promising ourselves, 'This is not going to take three years to make. We need to work faster,'" Bjerre told Spin Magazine.
The band also moved away from the continuous manner in which 'Kites' was mixed, where one song basically bled seamlessly into the next. "The last record we did was like one long thing, and I love that about it," Bjerre says. "We didn’t want to do that again, we wanted to have separate songs. I think it’s like a counter reaction to what we did last time."
Mew are playing at the Summersonic Festival in Japan come August time. Does this mean they might make their debut appearance in Australia for Splendour? Let's hope that we will see them in Australia sometime soon.
