Mew release promo for 85 Videos
Watch promo for new Mew track 85 Videos - taken from upcoming 7th studio album Visuals

Mew have released a promo for their new track 85 Videos.
It will feature on the Danish outfit’s upcoming seventh album Visuals, which is out on April 28 via Play It Again Sam.
It’s Mew’s first studio material since 2015’s +-.
The video was directed by lead vocalist Jonas Bjerre, who explains the process behind the promo.
He says: “I’ve been working a lot with kaleidoscopes lately. You have an image, or a sequence of images, and you snip out an angle, mirror it, and repeat it in a 360-degree angle. It’s a beautiful thing, because almost no matter the state of the original image, it ends up a beautiful symmetrical, indefinable something.
“A picture of your messy desk turns into a strange flower. I like that you can’t really envision what it will look like until you see it. I think our music is a bit like that too, even as we’re working on it.”
He continues: “I made a bunch of sequences, and crafted them into these ever-changing ‘faces’ that I then video-projected on to our actual faces. It’s like wearing a mask made out of photons.

“You can say a lot of philosophical stuff about masks – but don’t worry, I’m not going to. Hope you enjoy the video.”
Mew will head out on a European tour from next week. Visuals is now available for pre-order.
