Album Description
Available in:
No More Stories Are Told Today, I'm Sorry They Washed Away // No More Stories, The World Is Grey, I'm Tired, Let's Wash Away is the fifth studio album by the Danish band Mew. It was released in Scandinavia on 17 August, the UK on 24 August, the U.S. on 25 August, and Japan on 26 August 2009.

No More Stories... is produced by Rich Costey who also produced the breakthrough album Frengers, and is the band's first album as an official three-piece after bass player Johan Wohlert left to spend time with his family.

According to lead vocalist Jonas Bjerre, this album is happier, "dancier", and more upbeat than its predecessor, And the Glass Handed Kites, which had a dark theme of fear.

Bjerre explained the unusually long title of the album to Gaffa: "We originally wanted a short title for the album but we couldn't find sufficiently redemptive words. The final title is the lyrics to the short intermezzo 'Hawaii Dream', and when Bo [Madsen] suggested that we used the complete text as a title it didn't take him long to convince Silas [Utke Graae Jørgensen] and myself. It was like finding the missing piece in a puzzle".

The opening track, "New Terrain", if played backwards reveals another song entitled "Nervous" which is added as a bonus track to the vinyl edition of the album. The lyrics were posted as a poem on their Danish record company Evil Office's website .

The band released information on a few tracks in interviews. According to SPIN.com, “Cartoons and Macramé Wounds” will be a “challenging five-minute opus” that supposedly reverses the traditional Mew formula of a quiet buildup into an epic by starting out gigantically before fizzling away into something more minimal, and “Beach” is supposed to be the band’s most straightforward song ever. According to the band, they have made a more upbeat album this time and it will not be one extended suite like the predecessor, And the Glass Handed Kites.
