MeWithoutYou are like the Beatles (apologies for a parallel which could arguably be called low-hanging fruit). Even when I’m lost, or just generally have no idea what the hell they are talking about, they have a musical consistency which makes them timeless to their fans.
Sounds like MeWithoutYou but innovates while keeping the listener captivated with their concept discography.
Conveniently falling between ‘Catch For Us the Foxes’ and ‘Brother, Sister’ stylistically, ‘Ten Stories’ won’t disappoint any mwY fan. It’s standard storytelling-with-accompaniment fare that pushes Aaron Weiss to the forefront, but with more varied, yet structured, grooves than their earlier work.
Bottom line: mewithoutYou is still doing what they do, in a space with no real competitors. I’ll take anything they throw my way.
