New Mew – “Repeaterbeater”

As we've mentioned, Mew's new album title, which we're shortening to No More Stories... to avoid obnoxiousness, is in fact a full-on (and pretty bad) poem. Wouldn't you know it, the collection's first single "Repeaterbeater" also rhymes. Wacky Danes. You've already heard "Introducing Palace Players," but now that introductions are out of the way, here's this bit of airy, funky proggish rock. Fans will remain fans. Still, I can imagine the song going on a lot longer and being better for it. (They must've used up all their energy on that title.)

01 "Introducing Palace Players"
02 "Repeaterbeater"

04 "Start"
05 Swimmer's Chant"
