| hi there proggers! does anyone know/like the dannish band mew? they i've got a few albums and they sound quite progressive to me. in interviews they keep saying they are really influenced by early genesis, which is not a bad reverence right? why aren't these guys in the archives yet? maybe not progressive enough? |

I heard some songs by them. The singers sounds like Jonsi from Sigur Ros. I don't even know of it's a he or a she! On wikipedia theres an article or information about "new prog" and Mew is one of the bands mentioned along with Sigur Ros, Porcupine Tree and The Mars Volta. -------------

| yeah. towards the outside world mew is a great ambassador for progrock, together with the bands you mentioned. especialy because they sell out stadiums in their homecounty denmark and are high in the charts over there. i can totally understand jonsi's vocals come into mind when listening to mew. also muse comes into mind. anyway it's quite an unique band i think. |

I wouldn't mind seeing them in prog-related, but as far as I'm
concerned, they're not really 100% prog. Good stuff, nevertheless.

I have Mew and the glass handed kites. Great album although not particularly progressive to my mind. I saw them live as well and they were fantastic.

Fantastic band. Their quality really manifests after a few listens. There are fantastic harmonies, and even polyrhythms throughout And the Glass Handed Kites. I personally get a lot out of it. Their early materal wasn't that great though, at least in contrast with their recent release. Definitely worthy of this site, even if only prog-related for the time being (I see great potential in the years to ome). ------------- www.last.fm/user/ThisCenotaph

Yep. a good one, their voice is rather original, but some songs bore me just a little, I don't own their albums, don't know if I should buy any, but some songs I DO like are:
"Circuit of the Wolf/Chinaberry Tree"
"Special"
"Snow Brigade"
"Symmetry"(anyone knows who's the female vocal singing along in this one?)
Somehow I relate them with Muse also, and the Arcade Fire and The Mars Volta(why?  I dunno)------------- "Tis your birth and faith that wrong you...not I." |

i like mew. but i think it's somehow like System of a Down.
but it's little bit proggier. Great art, too.
I like Mew because it's clear. And nice rhytms (not very proggy, but much more than other pop, or even indie)

I think Mew should be included in the art rock section. Of course they're prog in some sort! Prog is not necessary only the definition of creative music of the 70's. Prog nowadays doesn't have to be copycats of the 70's! Mew is a perfect example of modern prog not being considering prog because they haven't got "the prog sound". The definition of prog is not mellotron. Prog is creative rock music, often using unusual time signatures and complex compositions. Does Mew have unusual time signatures? Yes. Does Mew have complex compositions? Well, not the most complex, but unusual. More unusual than Radiohead at least. Include them in the archives! ------------- What's the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow? |

I have those albums:
A Triumph for Man Half the World Is Watching Me Frengers And the Glass Handed Kites And solely based on Glass, I would be inclined to add them to Art-Rock. However the other albums, they do not make to me a strong case for addition. Good and nice rock, but not more. This is why I don't like the tagging of a band and not albums... we lose so much precision this way. EDIT - (even though I shouldn't) I am now listening to their albums over again. And my conclusion would be Prog-Related. Sorry Phileas, I see what you mean, but the overall impression I get fomr this is more of a rock outfit with other than usual characteristics, but in general the overall sound reminds me of other rock bands. They do bear some more sophisticated/complex parts in their songs, but it is not the dominant trait of their music. I think they fit prog-related due to this. (which is for the admins to decide). Just my thoughts, not meaning to offend the fans (I love the music as well, otherwise I wouldn't bother with their albums). ------------- http://hangingsounds.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow - Hanging Sounds http://www.progarchives.com/ProgRockShopping.asp" rel="nofollow - PA Index of prog music vendors |

No need to be sorry, Prog Related would fit them better. I took time to examine their music more closely, and as a result I agree with you. So anyway, they really ought to be included as Prog Related. |

yes, not to artrock - i don't want it to be spoiled with semi-prog.
Yes, to prog related. Although, the name prog related reminds me of like it... well, maybe Proggish or Rather progressive or something else would be good name to that "genre".. (i don't know how strong word "rather" is, but something like that..)
yes, prog related tells me that those bands have for example mellotrons etc.
But it's very big genre , there's metal, post-rock, gay rock... -------------

| OK, I listened to "And the Glass-Handed Kites", and unfortunately for you Mew fans I was not impressed at all. I found the album extremely heavy going and only very slightly related with prog. Consequently, Art Rock is out of the question - Prog-Related maybe, but I'd hesitate to put them there either. There have been too many controversial additions so far, and I'd rather concentrate on adding real prog bands - there are many that are still out of our database. |

You ought to listen to it a few more times. As many good albums, it takes more than a couple of listens to manifest it's greatness. You'll notice many more subtleties if you try a few more lsitens. There are a lot of polyrhythms, great atmospheres and harmonies, and the whole thing is continuous as if it were one piece, though it really is not.

Just answered a mail from the Band Submission Team after listening carefully their "masterpiece" "Mew and the Glass Handed Kites.
I'm not inpressed at all, I can't find a Prog connection, not even to Prog Related, they don't even sound original, several alternative bands have done a lot of the same before with less POP elements.
IMHO they are less Prog Related than Coldplay who are not Prog Related. I agree with Raffaella, not by dream Art Rock, but I would be more radical, neither in Prog Related without any doubt
Sorry but I have to say what I believe, not trying to be rude, but I'm used to say the things I believe clearly, I'm too old to change.

Having only heard And the Glass Handed Kites, I see parallels between Mew and Radiohead, Muse, Dredg, Pure Reason Revolution, and others. I definitely understand the gut reaction upon hearing the album of saying "They're not prog, or even prog-related!" However, if you give it a chance, I think the similarities to the bands I mentioned become apparent. Also, there's sometimes an interesting use of rhythm variation within songs. I think an inclusion in prog-related is justified. If not now, then certainly if their next album sounds similar (or more "proggy") than ATGHK, there's a strong argument to bring them on board. -------------

No enteredwinte it's not a gut reaction, I have nothing against them, it''s a cold, thought and analyzed opinion after almost a month of receiving a mail consulting about them from the Prog Submission Team.
IMO they are not Prog or even Prog Related, they are a Pop/Alternative/Indie band, maybe good, maybe not so good, that's not the issue....The point is that we are in Prog Archives,. not in Alterative Archives, this is a place for Prog bands (Great, good, average and bad), not for Alternative bands no matter how great they may be.
There's a Radiohead influence in MEW, but being honest, most Alternative/Indie bands sound similar in higher or lesser degree to Radiohead because Radiohead has an alternative component apart from their Prog sound so there's the connection.
Pure Reason Revolution is a different thing, they have a Space Rock connection that MEW doesn't remotely has. About Muse.....Being inspired in a Prog Related band, hardly justifies an inclusion.
Radiohead, Pure Reason Revolution and even Muse are here to stay but I believe it's a mistake to accept a band because it's similar to other bands, specially when one of them caused controversy when added and another is in Prog Related.
Each band must be qualified exclusively for what they are and MEW is Alternative/Indie/POP band, nothing less, nothing more.
The mail I received includes a well informed bio that states:
Red interrogation signs added by me.
I can't find a single reference to Yes, Genesis or Gentle Giant, much less from King Crimson, but the POP sound is more than clear and the alternative/Indie is more than evident.
I believe the reference to the 70's Prog bands is an argument for their inclusion but honestly, I could search for years and this can't be found, neither elements from 80's, 90's or 00's Prog at all.
Now, you're right when you say there's a chance in their next album, but they will have to do something at least remotely close to Prog Related to be even considered in my humble opinion.

They are definitely more Prog than Muse in my opinion, so take Muse out if Mew are being left out. Muse may have some virtuoso-ish piano interludes here and there, but other than that their music is pretty straight forward, not very Prog at all in my opinion (still I love them to bits, but that's another issue). How many times have you actually listened to And the Glass Handed Kites, and how carefully? This thread is a good example of why Prog Related is such a silly category. We can never agree on what it takes to get included in it. |
Posted By: Raff
Date Posted: February 01 2007 at 13:41

We can never agree because this is art, not a hard science. Everyone seems to have their own perception of what is prog and what isn't - and this will never, ever change because the 'prog quotient' of a band or artist cannot be quantified. As to the silliness of Prog-Related... It may very well be, but we have tried (in vain, or so it seems) to drive home the point that it exists for a very good reason - the owners want it. Therefore, I suggest all the people who disagree with its existence write a letter to the owners in order to ask them to abolish PR. None of us can do anything about it but try to avoid preposterous additions. |

We are discussing MEW and my opinion about them is that they are not Prog, as simple as that, Muse is something from the past.

 That'ds the point Raf, you can remember that despite everybody (Or almost everybody) agreed King Crimson is not a Symphonic band, we still had people more comfortable with the status quo and leaving them there.
We will never agree in everything, that's the fate of artistic expression.
BTW: I believe Prog Related is necesary as the link between mainstream and Prog but we have to be exclusive and not inclusive, if we doubt, leave them away...In the case of MEW I don't have a doubt, they aren't Prog or Prog Related IMHO.

I stand by my opinion that Mew ought to be added in Prog Related. They
may not sound like 70's Prog, but they're quite progressive none the
less and more so than many bands already here, Muse is one example and dredg another. I can give more examples. Regrettably the "more Prog/progressive than [...]" argument used in the previous post isn't working, although it actually makes perfect sense and should be regarded as a valid argument when discussing a possible band addition. It seems as though the site tries to ignore their mistakes instead of dealing with them, by pointing to a "we don't remove bands" policy that obviously causes more harm than it prevents. But if even the staff recognize certain additions as mistakes, what good does it make to leave them on the site? And what good does it make leaving bands more progressive and Proggy than the mistakes out? I think it boils down to the older staff not seeing the Prog-ness of Mew that many younger members see, because they won't really listen to them as the sound is too "modern" or something, doesn't appeal to them. Loads of prejudice on my part, I know, there are always exceptions. But I still have a strong feeling that ignorance because of age is the problem here. The counterarguments suggest this and it has even been admitted to a certain extent. I'm confident there are others who agree with me on this point. I haven't seen any really satisfying explanation to why Mew shouldn't be added in Prog Related. "They're Pop/Alternative", "I don't hear Yes" isn't enough. Those positive to inclusion have pointed out the characteristics of Mew's music that ought to get them included in Prog Related, but those against have only offered vague explanations like those I presented above. If you want to convince me, point to characteristics of Mew's music that are missing but needed to get them included. And listen to their music thoroughly before doing so! As with most Prog, one listen isn't enough.

Wow, this discussion has been going on for more than a year now.
Surprisingly, Mew have not been added to the archives yet although they do exhibit many features typically asociated with prog in general (many of which are found in the Progarchives' own article defining prog rock), including odd time signatures, unusual BD-snare combinations even in the 3/4 and 4/4 parts, frequent use of non-standard chords, combination of visual arts and music, use of keyboards, poetic-style metaphor-ridden lyrics other than your average straightforward rock-pop type of lyrics, and a (relatively) unusual vocal style.
Sure, their compositions do typically not exceed 5 minutes of length, they don't contain any virtuous solos, and they do exhibit pop, indie and trad rock features as well. However, the they certainly are more prog-like, art-like and more sophisticated than many artists included here. I think no harm would be done in including Mew as prog related (if the thought of adding them under art rock is too scary for some of the prog rock old timers).

The style of music they make has been done before (and better) twenty years ago by bands like Shelleyan Orphan and Miranda Sex Garden (both of whom at least had a more varied approach to instrumentation that Mew currently lack) - but there is just not enough in Mew's music for me to think of them as progressive or even prog-related. ------------- What? |
Posted By: Zodiak
Date Posted: July 26 2007 at 17:11

Hmm... Difficult issue, really. On one hand, comparing them to Muse and/or Radiohead is just ridiculous. Prog isn't only about complex time signatures and whatnot. Prog is something that's really deep inside, you feel it rather than KNOW it's prog because there's this, this, and that. Muse have that, especially on Black Holes And Revelations. Perfect MODERN new prog. I ain't saying they are King Crimson or whatever. The problem is... And the point I'm trying to bring across... Muse, for example, are prog within. Mew are prog on the surface which isn't enough. I hope that makes sense. While Muse makes prog accesible and "poppy" (what a nasty word), Mew makes pop - prog. And that's the difference. That's the thing that I feel is scaring off older prog fans who are against their addition. Mew are very much pop WITH prog and other bands are more or less prog WITH pop. Though of course having listened to the new album and having seen them live, I have nothing to say against their addition to Prog-Related. I don't think it'd hurt the website. They are an interesting band. And with the last album they deserve to be in Prog-Related. But of course not Art Rock by a mile. Let's keep Art Rock clean, because it's a very... "interesting" and subtle genre. ------------- Please suggest a good sig! |

It's a Maine Coon, an all-American breed - and yes, they can get as big as that, and even bigger. I saw one in Finland some years ago that looked like a miniature lynx!  Back IT, some months ago, when I was in charge of the AR Team, I listened to Mew's "And the Glass-Handed Kites" without being impressed overmuch. However, I freely admit to not being an expert of 'modern' prog, and I trust other people's judgment on the matter at hand. Unlike other people on this board, I realise that 'prog' is a subjective notion, not a sort of magic formula that can be applied to bands or artists in order to determine their suitability for this site. |

I don't know if this is like a shot to the foot, but from a national perspective, Mew is probably one of the least mainstream and most pop/rock bands to come out of Denmark. Most other signed Danish pop/rock (if we ignore the underground Danish prog metal acts) acts are pretty conformist musically compared to Mew. In the perspective of the generally uninspiring and non-explorational Danish music industry, Mew are quite progressive. ------------- This user has left the PA fora, but will occasionally post reviews so as to support artists. |

I think "Mew" is an alter-prog music. I pronounce: I THINK it's prog enough to get place
on this page.

I don't think they belong here. There are some nice and PROGRESSIVELY THINKING bands from Indie camp like MEW and YOURCODENAMEIS:MILO, but they're NOT Prog. Top-notch Indie, but not Prog yet

I am going to kick this to Xover to look at... Xover did not exist when Mew was last looked at.. and more importantly... Dean was not really a member. Want him to have a say...

I'm kinda surprised they got declined again...I don't see why they aren't progressive enough for the site.
Is prog-related still a possiblity? ------------- www.last.fm/user/ThisCenotaph

I love love love this band, but I don't think they have any place here.

I'm sure it is... but probably not exactly a high priority ... they are too busy cleaning up messes around here and keepting the peace. PR is not a place for rejected bands... but for those who show prog's influences.. and are usually 'big name' groups.. not those who simply were not judged prog enough to make the 'cut' here. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |
