THE NEW MEW SINGLE IS HERE!

Oh how I have waited these past two years for the arrival of new material from Denmark's Mew, whose last album, Frengers, is probably my favourite since Neutral Milk Hotel's In the Aeroplane Over the Sea. Well, the day is finally upon us! The first single from the band's as-yet-untitled new LP just started receiving airplay on the always cutting-edge DR Barometer (Danish Radio's alternative Internet radio station). The song is called Apocalypso, and can be streamed here. The single is set to be released on July 4, with the full record, again produced by Michael Beinhorn, to follow in September. Still no U.S. tour dates, but a show at the ICA in London on July 25 was just announced. Details here.
