Sigur Ros have shown us that the Icelanders have the market in sweet, high pitched, yearing singing cornered; and we know from the Hives that bands from Sweden rock; and Norway has always led the metal world. But what about fellow Scandinavians the Danes?
They boast their own unique hybrid with Mew, a Danish band who blend epic rock with heavy guitars and ethereal vocals. Highly-acclaimed by their peers, and special guests of Bloc Party for their upcoming shows, Mew's new album is set for release in the US on July 25.
Listen now to the otherworldly vocals on "
The Zookeeper's Boy" and picture a musical soundscape where Radiohead, MBV and The Mars Volta might collide.
