Pale Horses is a carefully focused and personal album that spans mewithoutYou’s impressive career. From the frightened intensity of Catch Us For the Foxes and [A -> B] Life to the subdued and urgent Ten Stories, the band has truly created an album in Pale Horses that compliments and expands on their incredible 15 year legacy. The masterful production of Will Yip transforms the band’s transcendental musings into a widescreen experience. Drums and bass lines quake with the faults of the earth, as an army of guitars and multi-instrumental nuances ring in the paranoia, mass hysteria and peaceful exaltation. The result is a stunning collage—fitfully disturbing, steadily bizarre, uniquely celebratory—undoubtedly the grandest musical adventure yet conceived within mewithoutYou’s expanding tapestry.
mewithoutYou will embark on a full U.S. tour in June with support from Foxing, Lithuania and Field Mouse. The past year has seen the band on the road on their highly anticipated Catch Us For the Foxes 10 Year Anniversary tour alongside Appleseed Cast, Hop Along, and The World Is a Beautiful Place, as well as touring alongside Dr. Dog this spring. The band also released their East Enders Wives Maxi Single 12” on 2014’s Black Friday Record Store Day, featuring the track “East Enders Wives” from Ten Stories alongside remixes and alternate versions. In addition to their summer tour, mewithoutYou will play The Spring Fling in Ohio, Asbury Park, NJ’s Skate And Surf Festival and Lansing, MI’s Common Ground Festival.
