MewithoutYou's musical progress, since the band's late 2001 inception, has been a four-album arc from soul-quaking post-punk to a kind of misfit bucolic opera. The new album, it's all crazy! it's all false! it's all a dream! it's alright, is quaint, rapturous, excessive, ventilated by tubas and campfire sing-alongs: What a beautiful God, what a beautiful God, what a beautiful God there must be! The sound would actually make a nice fit with the freak folk scene of Joanna Newsom, early Animal Collective, and so on except that that scene, insofar as it has a religious bias at all, tilts away from Christianity and toward post-60s neopaganism.
