Today's photos feature Mew and One Thousand Pictures. Mew is from Denmark. They put out a well-received album earlier this year called "And The Glass Handed Kites." They have a "big" sound. As in, I can picture them playing in front of a sold-out Wembley Stadium. The music is very atmospheric, but tightly focused. Almost every article I've read about the band has mentioned Sigur Ros + Arcade Fire. I don't really hear either one, but I suppose I agree to the extent that the reviewers mean atmosphere + earnest energy. At any rate it was a very good performance. Opening up was One Thousand Pictures. Or 2/5th of the band. The singer said the rest of the band was at the hospital due to spider bites. We've all been there before. They have an album coming out in January 2007.
