Mew is a Rap act. Their sound grew out of Swirlies, The fin., Tim Christensen, R.E.M. and U2. Those roots explain a lot about how Mew arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as The Raveonettes, Minus the Bear, The Joy Formidable, Carpark North and White Lies, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Peyton, Ice on the Dune, From Indian Lakes, The Joy Formidable and Phoria, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 33 connections around Mew, reaching back through Swirlies and forward to Peyton.
