Mew release their seventh album Visuals through Play It Again Sam. Unlike previous albums, Visuals arrives fairly quickly on the back of 2015’s + - album and came to fruition as front-man Jonas Bjerre explains; “the live shows around that album saw us hit a creative peak, writing tracks on-the-road and the spark was lit.

The first taste of the album comes in the shape of the mesmerising intricacies of the album’s finale Carry Me To Safety. Meanwhile, the slow-build euphoria of album opener, Nothingness And No Regrets, and expansive 80’s-style pop of The Wake Of Your Life countered by the discordant stomp of the intriguingly titled Candy Pieces All Smeared Out and blissful glide of In A Better Place, compete across eleven tracks that convey an irrepressible ebullience of a band on their debut album. Twenty years into their career, Visuals is the distinctive sound of Mew seizing the moment…
