    Welcome to The MewX Podcast!


    It's Easter egg time! Season 5 is over, but to keep the wait for season 6 a little shorter, we have this bonus episode for you. The legendary American music producer, Michael Beinhorn, joined Thomas and Oddvar for a chat about his work with Mew. We talk about how he found out about Mew, creating And the Glass Handed Kites and + -, Silas' drumming style, how Johan came back to the band, how music production has changed over the years, how working with Mew is different from working with some of the biggest names in the business, and more!

    Welcome to The MewX Podcast!

    Season 5 comes to and end, as we talk about one of Mew's most popular songs, Special. We're joined by Oddvar's brother Simen, to discuss his favorite song. We also get some help to solve a mystery in the lyrics, when we get an unexpected call during the recording. What do you think of Special, and what do you think Agarina means?

    Alex Maiolo (Themes For Great Cities)

    Welcome to The MewX Podcast!

    This week we're joined by the brain behind the Themes For Great Cities project, Alex Maiolo. Alex, Jonas Bjerre, Jonas Kaarnamets, Erki Pärnoja and the city of Tallinn, released an album earlier this month, of music made largely on modular synths, performed live at Tallinn Music Week. It's an inspirational talk about how the four guys and one city came together, creating music and a great friendship. We also hear about how they made the album, Alex's musical inspirations, his relationship with Mew, modern ways of creating and consuming music versus old, and much more.

    The album is available on limited edition red vinyl, pressed at Citizen Vinyl in Asheville, NC, and digital download on moroderikmusik.bandcamp.com.

Frengers

I’m not a part on the online frenger community so it’s fun to hear the enthusiasm and love of music shared by the hosts and their guests. I’d known Mew through their music for years now so it’s nice to hear the stories behind their songs. Thank you all for your devotion, this show is definitely a labor of love.
