I dunno if you guys have seen these before... probably. I just thought these were worth posting because I was on my favorite photographers site, and was surprised that he took pictures of mew :)

The one with the fish bowls is neat, but I like the top one best.

 

I'm thinking it is probably a USB flash drive they are talking about. :thinking:

NO MORE STORIES：enter MEW mystery Dreamlands

 

 

Figure: clear up that early to <Comforting Sounds> healing hearts and minds to conquer fans of the Danish band Melody Mew, in the 2005 album "And The Glass Handed Kites", finally released in August this year, in large factories in the mainstream The third album "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", but this is also a founding member of Mew members, bassist Johan Wohlert from the group after the establishment of four from the past many years, the first three recording a new series.

In the course of three separate interviews with lead singer Jonas Bjerre Answer Bujibuxu elegant calm, drummer Silas Utke Graae Jørgensen slightly embarrassed, talk volume weak but still warm response, guitarist Bo Madsen is eloquent, intimate interviews with the attitude , so I feel as if these members have their previous album "Frengers" the semantic meaning is a group of strangers from afar, but a sincere friend.

 

H：Hinoter

J：Jonas Bjerre

S：Silas Utke Graae Jørgensen

B：Bo Madsen

 

H: This is your first visit to Taiwan? Taiwan's first impression?

 

J: Yes, this is our first trip to Taiwan, people here are very friendly, after a long flight, some of our tired, rest a day after the spirit has been much better, we hope to be able to walk the hills of Taiwan, look for giraffe, If enough time to shoot some pictures in Taipei.

 

H: Mew music elements commonly seen in Asia?

 

J: We are in the process of growing up seeing a lot of kung fu film, inside the Chinese language pronunciation sounds strange, this is <No Shadow Kicks> songwriting origin; <I Should Be A Tsin-tsi For You> the inspiration for this effort In one scene the film story is mention of herbs Tsin-tsi's healing effect, but in fact what is Tsin-tsi I'm not quite sure (laughs). I like pandas, <Panda> this song was inspired by this, two kinds of pandas and giraffes are my favorite animals.

(H: So this is why <Like Paper Cuts> video animation, there are images of giraffe Hello?) Yes, in the projection of videos live shows, I always put the image into two kinds of animals come.

H: Do you have many years of touring experience, whether he still remembers the first Mew performances situation? And the most favorite live performances?

 

J: When we play at school when the group often do some very strange performances, group members into Mew's first performances was in Copenhagen a dead Kindle wind club performances, which have not inter-club business, but the In short, a very strange performance venue.That performance is very experimental, we are also playing the flute ... but also because of this show for us to get attention, was a small independent label to sign. Favorite live performance ... quite difficult to answer this question ... I think one was in 2006 in the United States in a San Francisco performance, that performance in fact quite strange, when suddenly the scene is dead, but the presence of the masses is still very input was not affected mood, we are playing the piano out of the performers, on-site atmosphere is magical. In addition to a show recently in Denmark, Roskilde music festival performance.

 

S: The first performances is my impression that very fear, I only remember that I try to keep the rhythm of drums and smooth (H: because it was the audience response?) Do not mind ... I was totally a blank, it was many years ago what happened ... (laughs)

H: "And The Glass Handed Kites" album, the first time in three of the preparation of a new series of recordings done?

 

J: In 2005 "Kites" album release, we in Europe, Japan, the United States made a long tour, about to start a new album in 2007 before the creation of new songs. Johan in the 2006 U.S. tour when the baby was born because of his relationship, he did not want to make frequent home tour itinerary, plus the music wants to go a different, and eventually he decided from the group. In fact, when we read a lot of members already know each other years, when the tour we have recruited some of his friends fill vacancies Bass playing, then we have become accustomed to such an establishment, but when writing the new album, for us to that there was really a new experience. The past, creating new songs, the four individuals responsible for the time everyone has their own part, so this new album recording, of course, is different from the past, we invite itinerant bassist Bastian playing Bass, Bo also played Bass in the Department of copies, I play keyboard, piano, In addition, we also have requested the help of our friends Damon relevant paragraphs of playing musical instruments.

H: The new EP "No More Stories" of the music is more direct Allegro, this new album, what new elements to join?

 

J: this new album we wanted to explore a different voice, unlike the "Kites" album there are many voices, the sound of the instrument noise, this time we want to make sound independent of musical instruments, like the very rock guitar sound can be a very rough more clearly presented. Lova not on the "Kites" as gloomy, new album, rap music is more diverse, we have joined like a Blue Note-style bass melody.

 

S: This time we try to record a more direct and not over-produced music, but of course it is sometimes difficult to avoid the recording process or a paragraph over and over again to record the situation, and this new album is more diverse musical styles, each in the first songs are very different.

 

B: The new album is like a story book, indulgence inside each section, while the limited vinyl vector formats such as music, length, and often the length of each song is three minutes more than the preparation, no such restrictions in the subsequent , we may record longer works.

H: We know that the new album from the name of Jonas no longer believe in the story of his childhood memories, the new album has a song is <Sometimes Life Isn't Easy>, listen to some frustrating negative, but the EP pretty lighthearted song melody, Naming and melodic songs is the relationship between ...?

 

J: Yes, we like to do this compilation degree of contrast paragraphs, in particular, like the new album has a song <Beach> the melody is very bright, but in fact is very negative lyrics and even some sense of the tragedy, music, light and bright and sad lyrics gloomy, and vice versa.

H: Album Tracks <Silas The Magic Car> mean ...?

 

J: Silas is a very reliable drive, when he was driving when I would feel very safe (laughs), the other band this song is also in the future, recalling the past, the meaning of history.

 

S: This song is about the band ... maybe relationship, the orchestra disbanded ... and so mean, but I want to hear people can have their own interpretation of La.

H: The new album's most favorite track?

 

J: favorite track ... In fact, every day is changing, now my favorite is the <Sometimes Life Isn't Easy>.

 

B: ah a matter of fact I like every song where the different elements of the paragraph, I like <Introducing Palace Players> and <Silas The Magic Car>, I also like <Sometimes Life Isn't Easy>.

H: The new album you have invited a 88-year-old Danish avant-garde rock female singer Mari Helgerlikova Xiansheng chorus, is why did you want to invite her?

 

S: We think her voice is very unique, very suitable for <Sometimes Life Isn't Easy> this song.

 

B: We admire her work in this field, she was regarded as the pioneer of such musical styles, why is always a young blond, 25-year-olds to do these things, but can not be older people? As long as the fit, 88-year-old singing there will be sparks occur.

H: implications of the new album cover design?

 

S: The cover from the Paris-based M / M team of design patterns presented in a way to stack in a face under there another face, just like our music, maybe a melody is bright, but it is not only a the surface, perhaps under the meaning of darkness, in which there is more we want to convey.

 

B: (laughs) You can cover design of this seems to put a lot of interesting implication of this month's cover design a kind of strange smile, in fact, the name of this album is the aptly reflected in this cover, the implication is very open, positive but is also a dark, depressing, like this album is actually a lot of style, kind of, there may be bright and happy beat, but there are melancholy sadness paragraphs.

H: <Introducing Palace Players> and exposure of the new album after another film trilogy, as well as the new album, touring the scene projector is about?

 

S: The new album film produced by the Danish Bacon, we have Martin de Thurah directed <IPP> does not appear, in the other two films, such as <Repeaterbeater> music videos, we have in the filming process is hypnotist hypnosis is not played just played. The tour of live performances on the projection, this time the contents of the Martin has participated in the filming, in addition to Jonas's animation, there are some abstract drawings, or live images, may be more complicated and may be more simple, and will change according to each song .

 

B: The addition to Martin de Thurah directed <IPP>, two other music videos <Repeaterbeater> and <Beach>, Adam Hashemi, and Lasse Martinussen is also involved in the production, three videos can be combined into one work, but be separated from the fact have different elements.

Jonas won the Gaffa Award for Singer of the Year.

 

 

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmMnoPg6K9s]YouTube- Gaffa Awards 2009 - "Danish Singer of the Year"[/ame]

That's awesome! Congrats to Jonas! Nice pic :D

Thanks for that ruraljuror!

Too bad it's in Danish :confused:

Oooh he so deserves it! :wacky:

 

I just came back from an evening with some friends and in the car, I had put Wherever at the maximum volume... what a feeling! :D

 

 

Iwent from 80 km/h to 110 km/h unconciously cause I was caught in the song :dozey:

 

I ran the Gaffa article through Google Translate and fixed some of the wonky grammar.

 

What is your reaction to winning, and how will you thank readers for having voted for you?

I am very pleased to have won and would like to thank those who voted for me. It's really nice to get that kind of confirmation.

 

What has been the year's most positive experience from a musical perspective?

Roskilde Festival this year was a fantastic experience, both our own concert and just to be at the festival and experience music.

 

What has been the year's most negative experience from a musical perspective?

Hmm...I'm not sure whether I had any direct negative musical experiences. I certainly cannot think of any right now.

 

What has been the year's most positive experience from a personal perspective?

My personal experiences are personal. But in my work as a musician I say: To finally release a new album and tour around the world and see people's reactions to our music. It was also great to open for and meet my favorite band, Pixies and then see them play the entire Doolittle album with accompanying b-sides live.

 

What has been the year's most negative experience from a personal perspective?

Waiting for a delayed flight for eight hours in Chicago's airport. It was late at night and it was boring.

 

What will you do in 2010?

Mew will be touring a lot, and we'll go and work on different ideas and projects. Furthermore, I know I'm writing the soundtrack for Rune Schjøtt's upcoming movie "Skyscraper."
