Mew are releasing new album ‘Visuals’ in April

Danish indie icons Mew are back! They’ve revealed that ‘Visuals’, the follow up to 2015’s ‘+-’ will be out on 28th April via Play It Again Sam.

Written on the road during the ‘+-’ tour and self-recorded in Copenhagen, the band have also designed the album’s visuals (which might explain why the album is indeed called ‘Visuals’). Take a look at the tracklisting:

01. Nothingness and No Regrets
02. The Wake of Your Life
03. Candy Pieces All Smeared Out
04. In a Better Place
05. Ay Ay Ay
06. Learn Our Crystals
07. Twist Quest
08. Shoulders
09. Videos
10. Zanzibar
11. Carry Me to Safety

The band have shared that final track ‘Carry Me To Safety’, a typically atmospheric number that slowly develops from being a downbeat, string-laden meditation into a full on beast complete with soaring guitar solos and more than a few choir-like harmonies. It’s basically set to be a euphoric conclusion to the album.

They’re are also heading off on a big ol’ European tour in May to support the album, playing a new dates on the continent before heading to Bristol, Manchester and London. They round off their run at Germany’s Immergut Festival.
