New *double single* "Blind as Night/That All Time High" although the below are radio edits. I think on Spotify the full versions are available.

Also this album will be dropping in January to the rest of the World beyond the August/September dates posted below.

The initial single "F is For Faker" earlier this year got me pretty curious about this their next album. I got pretty addicted to this Norwegian orchestral pop/rock band's 2011 debut LP To the Treetops. The energy and choruses were impossible to get out of my head at times. And they sort of filled the void currently. without any new music from Mew, who as much as they can sound like, it didn't seem to matter for me that much.

The interview linked below they talk a little about how this album differs from Treetops, which I am not sure will matter. It is kind of a crapshoot with a follow up record, but I like to at least have optimism and hope from any band who I get into.

The Interview linked has some stuff about this record and the band. Some of the members like Black Metal, which actually doesn't surprise me too much given where they come from and their music's different styles.

You have a new album in the pipeline? What can we expect?
We said right after we finished our first album, To The Treetops!, that we weren’t gonna do the same album twice. And I think we’ve kept our promise to ourselves. It’s quite different from our first one. Both the songwriting and the sound of the new record Blind As Night is a bit different. It’s more of a band feeling to this one. A bit darker and heavier, but with the Team Me signature sounds and choirs on top. The thing with not repeating yourself though, is that you never know where you end up. So, hopefully people who liked To The Treetops! will stay with us on our new journey.

Nice tune!. It has the Team Me energy and uplifting vibe, and the riffs.

I really enjoyed this Norwegian band's debut record from 2011, To the Treetops, more and more. In fact, I maybe have grown to enjoy it even more since 2011. It's just one of those high-energy records that was sort of a good go-to records to wake up or just escape or hear something uplifting. The melodies are often so strong and dreamy, they don't leave my brain for many hours.

So, nothing I have seen is official, but with these 6 (oops, not 4) recent studio videos, I would expect their next record to come out in 2014, and likely pretty early.

Mew fans I'm sure are watching their social media outlets everyday, but I would imagine many of their fans could catch on to this band next year if they haven't already.

for the Mew fans especially who haven't checked them out, this song isn't a bad sample song. I have been enjoying To the Treetops a great deal over the last couple of months, I may think of it as one of the definitive records of 2011. It's rather addictive.
