We're once again joined by the prolific musician and writer Alex Maiolo, to discuss two of his favorite Mew songs. Or is it just one song?

September 17, 2024 #063 Mew News / The Wake of Your Life
Welcome to The MewX Podcast!

Mew dropped a bombshell on everyone last week. Jonas Bjerre is leaving the band. We've been recording a few episodes for the upcoming season 6 of the podcast, but were not planning on releasing anything just yet. However, this announcement changed our plans a bit, as we give you our reactions to the news. We also decided to add our recording for The Wake of Your Life to the episode, as we saw how it thematically could fit in.

We'll be back releasing weekly episodes later this year, as our recordings of Season 6 progresses, so stay tuned!

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!

February 20, 2023 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.
