it's all crazy! it's all false! it's all a dream! it's alright

by Jim Fahy

Fans have long anticipated the fourth wake-up call from mewithoutYou, it's all crazy! it's all false! it's all a dream! it's alright. Surprises abound: Much of the mewithoutYou anguish of old has given way to a sense of gentle wonder, as on the celebratory "Timothy Hay" and "A Stick a Carrot and a String." Jehanian, Mazzotta, Mike Weiss, and a whole slew of guest musicians have unearthed strange and beautiful sounds that accompany the album's many marvels. That's not to say that this album is afraid of the dark. "The Angel of Death Came to David's Room" is a stark treatise about where we're all headed, and "The King Beetle on a Coconut Estate" recounts an old fable about the blistering fate that awaits the fearless truth-seeker. So, to sum up: The title says it all. Check it out!
