Mew is a Danish alternative rock band made up of Jonas Bjerre (lead vocals), Johan Wohlert (bass) and Silas Utke Graae Jørgensen (drums).

[3] Whilst their music may be classified as indie and on occasion progressive rock, former guitarist Bo Madsen said "I usually say we are 'indie stadium.'

[5] Formed in 1995 in Hellerup, a suburb of Copenhagen, they had a profound impact on the Danish indie scene, emerging alongside the likes of Carpark North, Swan Lee and Saybia, in the early 2000s.

[citation needed] During summer 2012, Mew premiered two new songs, with the working titles "Boy" and "Klassen", that were in the running to feature on their sixth studio album, at shows in Scandinavia.

[citation needed] On 23 January 2013 Mew announced via their Facebook page that they were no longer signed to Sony and would release new music independently.

On 9 April they confirmed, again via Facebook, that they had started preproduction on their 6th studio album with producer Michael Beinhorn.

In November 2013 "Making Friends (13)" was made available to stream via Spotify and as a free download via the Sensory Spaces website.

[14] While the band were onstage, fansite mewx.info posted an article confirming that he had been involved in the writing and recording of the upcoming album.

Some of the songs were released with different names; "Klassen" became "Satellites", "Russle" became "My Complications", and "Changes" became "Clinging To A Bad Dream".

On 10 September 2024, after a lull in studio activity and only occasional live performances, the band announced two “farewell” shows to be taking place in Denmark in May 2025.

Elaborating on the reason for the band's disbandment in a post to its official social media pages, Bjerre stated that he "[had] come to the realization that it's time for [him] personally to embark on a different journey, and focus on other creative projects.

"It had a sort of incomplete symmetry to it – it was kinda pointy at the edges and soft in the middle with the small E. There wasn't any deeper thought behind it than that, just how it sounded and looked.
