Michael Beinhorn
Welcome to The MewX Podcast!
It's Easter egg time! Season 5 is over, but to keep the wait for season 6 a little shorter, we have this bonus episode for you. The legendary American music producer, Michael Beinhorn, joined Thomas and Oddvar for a chat about his work with Mew. We talk about how he found out about Mew, creating And the Glass Handed Kites and + -, Silas' drumming style, how Johan came back to the band, how music production has changed over the years, how working with Mew is different from working with some of the biggest names in the business, and more!

Alex Maiolo (Themes For Great Cities)
Welcome to The MewX Podcast!
This week we're joined by the brain behind the Themes For Great Cities project, Alex Maiolo. Alex, Jonas Bjerre, Jonas Kaarnamets, Erki Pärnoja and the city of Tallinn, released an album earlier this month, of music made largely on modular synths, performed live at Tallinn Music Week. It's an inspirational talk about how the four guys and one city came together, creating music and a great friendship. We also hear about how they made the album, Alex's musical inspirations, his relationship with Mew, modern ways of creating and consuming music versus old, and much more.
The album is available on limited edition red vinyl, pressed at Citizen Vinyl in Asheville, NC, and digital download on moroderikmusik.bandcamp.com.

#051 Symmetry (Feat. Becky Wilson)
Welcome to The MewX Podcast!
In the late 1990s, a young American girl, then known as Becky Jarrett, got in touch with a Danish band by the name of Mew. Together they recorded the song Symmetry.

We're joined by Becky, now Wilson, as she shares her story of going to Copenhagen to record this iconic song.

Welcome to The MewX Podcast!
The gang is back with a one-off episode recorded on December 27, 2019. The plan was originally to release season 3 in early 2020, but busy personal lives forced us to postpone our plans. We decided to release this episode now, since we had it laying around, and hope it can offer some temporary relief during these trying times we're in. We'll be back soon with the full season, with a lot of great songs lined up!
Stay safe!
