Danish space pop innovators Mew return with their fourth album 'Mew and the Glass Handed Kites' - an even greater leap into the unknown than their previous work.
Redefining the concept of an "album" - and, indeed, of a "concept album" - 'Mew and the Glass Handed Kites' is an eccentric 60 minute rock headfuck, flinging musical ideas, distorted nightmare images and heartbreak choruses at the listener with what at first seems to be a random ferocity.
