Mew

With six years passing since their last release, Mew’s highly anticipated new album has more than lived up to expectations. Recalling the very best of their early work, +- is a typically ambitious album. Intricate soundscapes give way to soaring pop, with Jonas Bjerre’s distinctive voice expressing melancholy and hope in equal measure. The singles "Satellites" and "Water Slides" are obvious highlights—but the band barely put a foot wrong throughout, proving good things really are worth waiting for.
