title? MeWithoutYou | Vinyl LP | [Untitled] | Big Scary Monsters

Description:

Since their formation in the year 2001, mewithoutYou have become a standard-bearer for their genre. Across six full-length albums and a handful of EPs, the Philadelphia post-hardcore band have always put a premium on progression, never anchoring themselves to a single sound and instead gleefully wandering across genre lines. It's that same spirit that informed the band's upcoming seventh album [Untitled], as well as the accompanying EP, [untitled]. Across both [Untitled] and [untitled], mewithoutYou come away with a body of work that is downright revelatory but still mighty fun. It can be heard in the music as well as vocalist Aaron Weiss' words, as he plumbs the depths of his soul and encourages listeners to do the same. "I need to hit rock bottom and experience some kind of trauma, it tends to sharpen my senses and strip away what is superfluous and leave me with a bare bones, crystalline understanding of where I'm at," he says. It's why mewithoutYou's music has endured for so long, and why both [Untitled] and [untitled] show that the band remains a pacesetter in the world of thoughtful, aggressive music.
