Album Review: mewithoutYou - Pale Horses

StarStarStarStar

"Deeply entrenched in the same spoken-word ennui and subtle, yet beautiful, orchestration as any of their other records."

More mewithoutYou mewithoutYou

A unique and self-determining musical act, mewithoutYou are still capable of making some pretty poetically profound messages backed by their transient approach to song structure.

If anything, Pale Horses proves the Philadelphia five-piece have no plans to diverge from the sound that made them underground stars. The album is as deeply entrenched in the same spoken-word ennui and subtle, yet beautiful, orchestration as any of their other records, which can be good or bad depending on how you view it. They do angry well, though, and Pale Horses may be their most aggressive album yet.
