Frengers

I haven't listened to Mew in quite a while but they still really hold up. Just another great example of 2000s era indie rock. Really great vocals and powerful instrumentals.

Fun Danish indie

EDIT: I originally gave this album a 3, which the below review reflects

This gives me post-britpop vibes (coldplay, doves, placebo) so I'm guessing they took inspiration from those types of bands. The straight indie rock tracks are the least interesting thing here, thankfully it opens up into dreamy soundscapes and the occasional mathy sounding song, which actually sound pretty good. Definitely more of a slow burn, I could see myself liking it more on repeat listens. The last song is very emblematic of the record, after a slow start it flourishes into a pretty astonishing song.

This also seems a bit ahead of the curve for this style of music, only by a few years, but this sound did get more popular around the mid 00s.

Should it be in the main list: I don't think so, but it would make for an interesting inclusion

Top 3 songs: 156, Symmetry, Comforting Sounds
