5-track ep by Mew consisting of two tracks from the forthcoming 5th studio album. This is the band's first release after being reduced to a trio. These two tracks proof the band's continued mix of alt. rock, dream pop, and some elements from progressive rock. The first two tracks are quite interesting but the rest seems like mere fillers. It didn't really make me want to rush out to purchase the new album. I think, the band had come to a stand still, and I mostly just miss the simplicity of Frengers.
