Another new Mew, maybe?

Posted over 2 years ago
I was scanning the new release newsletter from allmusic.com last night, trying to fight through the Kanye v. Fiddy BS to find some new music I could love. My eyes fell on the new album by Emma Pollock, Watch the Fireworks, on the 4AD label. Those that know me well understand that I'll check out any 4AD release on general principle.I've heard of her from her previous band, the Delgados. I'd like to tell you that I'm a longtime fan, but I think I first heard them here, and have been playing catch-up since.Well, after reading the allmusic review (three and a half stars, but a glowing review) and getting a taste, I can see that I may have another artist for which I'm over the moon.Have a taste yourself, why don't you?*Adrenaline**Acid Test*

    Dale says In the past 24 hours, I've watched the video for "Acid Test" a dozen times. I'm totally entranced; there's nothing else for it.

    Misstee says I second that emotion but this may take a while to grow on me. Great to see a real woman in a video though as opposed to a Barbie doll.

    Dale says Totally agree, Misstee. Then again, I think her voice makes her quite attractive. Stop winding me up and send it over already Jenn! I found (and posted on M) the album, Kev. I'm really liking it. Another Mew might be a bit strong, but it is really good.

    Jammy Jeff says I bought "Adrenaline" the week it came out. It's one of my favourite singles this year. Haven't heard the album yet. Is it a big departure from The Delgados ?

    Dale says No, not at all, it would fit in nicely with the way they progressed.

    ZenPop says Hey Dale... I'm a bit late to this post... I just met Annie at the Emma Pollock show and she mentioned you posted on this... (I'm a HUGE Delgados fan and just posted a couple of times on them...) Thanks so much for this post! She's absolutely amazing... ...and live, she's absolutely charming... It was a great show. We need to get the word out about her... Cheers!
