The third album from Tooth and Nail Records' genre bending rock outfit MewithoutYou is a true musical delight and a brisk breath of fresh air. As a band that refuses to fall in line a just another hardcore/emo band, MewithoutYou's fresh new sound is continually being changed and refined heading into "Brother, Sister".
On this gem of an album lead singer Aaron Weiss had decided to share his singing ability with us, using less of the psuedo rhythmic talking that was used exclusivley up until now. If you're a long time fan though, don't worry, most songs are a strong mixture of the two singing styles. Also Aaron's soft singing voice fits the music perfectly. As the band continues to experiment with new sounds we are greeted with a few new instruments to the mix including trombone and harp. Overall this album has a more mellow sound that previous outings.
A real key point of the new album is the poetic words of Weiss. Though this has always been a staple for the group, the lyrics this time around shows the definate stregthening in the singer Christian faith since their debut LP "A->B Life". The prime example is in the amazing song "Nice and Blue (pt. two)" a sequel so to say of the original track featured on their first album. In his beautfiul poetic lyrics (I consider him the best poet in modern popular music) Aaron show this growth in faith "If you look out and see a trace of a dark red that was once my face in the clarity of such grace, you'll forget all about me."
The album as a whole is strung together beautifully. Each song seemingly meant to be place next to one another (like all great albums should) The threee acoustic laden "Spider" sing alongs, that are placed among the record like interludes, also help to keep the album more conhesive. While the last song, the harp filled "In a Sweater Poorly Knit", is my absolute favorite track, helping to end the album on an amazing note. MewithoutYou has released another amazing CD and are currently making some of the best and most original music of our time! This album stands up well if not surpasses the bands brilliant early work. Now if people would just take notice...
Amazing Jan 5, 2007
This is my favorite band, which is saying a lot because I normally listen to Hardcore and Metal, not what mewithoutYou plays. This album is even more unorthodox than their last two, but their music suffers none. If what you like about mewithoutYou is their driving beats, their airy and whimsical guitar overtones, or their unsurpassedly poetic lyrics, you won't miss anything in Brother, Sister.
What has changed, however, is that they have continued to gradually depart from their Hardcore roots. What on their other albums would have been a beat-carrying riff is now a beat-carrying riff slightly toned down and accompanied by an accordion or harp. If you are not one to appreciate a Bohemian approach to music, mewithoutYou may not be for you, but if you enjoy music well-made and inventive, they will quickly become a favorite.
P.S. ANY of their albums are excelent to go to sleep to.
Spiders... Jan 4, 2007
MWY is an excellent, and haunting group. Aaron Weiss's delivery and lyrics are so unique. This is a great alternative rock band, and each cd gets better and better.
Best CD I've bought this year. Jan 4, 2007
mewithoutYou have come further down the road Brad Wood has taken them from [A-B]-Live to Catch for Us the Foxes. The production is amazing, and is different than anything out there in rock music. Every song sounds distant, yet perfectly surrounds me with the mood necessary to bring out every word's intent. This is a Christian band and every lyric on the CD lets you know it, but it has always amazed me how the writing speak to me, an atheist, just as well. Listening to this album from start to finish is a lesson that we may all agree with each other much more than we think.
Phenominal Jan 3, 2007
Not much else I can say...probably one of the best of '06. MWY continues to blow me away with each new album!
