Guf for Mew-fans på vej

Kraftig efterspørgsel får Mew til at genudgive deres debutalbum, der oprindeligt kun kom i 1000 eksemplarer.

Af Jacob Chapelle Juul

Et af de mest populære danske bands for tiden, Mew, har solgt 50.000 eksemplarer af deres seneste skive ”Mew And The Glasshanded Kites”. Sidste år ryddede de stort set bordet for, hvad der var af hædersbevisninger, og man må derfor betegne bandet som ridende på en bølge af succes.

Det startede dog mere ydmygt. Deres debut-plade fra 1997, ”A Triumph For Man”, udkom kun i 1000 eksemplarer, og det har betydet, at interessen fra nyere fans lige så stille er blevet overvældende. På Ebay kan den sjældne plade for eksempel erhverves for små 4000 kroner.

Derfor har Mew og deres pladeselskab besluttet at genudgive debuten med dertilhørende bonus cd-indeholdende uudgivet materiale såsom demoer og akustiske versioner. Kort sagt alt, hvad hjertet kan begære for en virkelig Mew-fan. Udgivelsen er på gaden 18. september.

Mew er for øvrigt netop vendt hjem fra en yderst succesfuld tour i USA, hvor de spillede sammen med Bloc Party og fik aldeles flotte ord med på vejen af de amerikanske medier.

Mew kan desuden opleves i Danmark den 1. september, hvor de spiller i Tivoli.

Which apparently translates as -

One of the most popular danish bands at the moment, Mew, who have sold 50.000 copies of their latest record, "And The Glass Handed Kites". Last year, they pretty much picked up every award there was to pick up, and therefore one must describe the band as riding on a wave of succes.

It started rather humbly though. Their debut album from 1997, A Triumph For Man, was only printed in 1000 copies, meaning that the interest from newer fans has grown to the extremes. On eBay, this rare album can be bought for 4000 danish kroner. (400 Pounds Sterling, aprox).

Therefore, Mew and their recordcompany have decided to rerelease the debut, with an accompanying bonus-cd, containing unreleased material, like demos and acoustic versions. In short, everything a true Mew fan could desire.

I don't know about everyone else but I am so excited about this.
