Another dose of art rock, mewithoutYou's latest release Catch for Us the Foxes digs deeper into the artsy realms. This Brad Wood produced CD could become confusing to most who are unfamiliar with this band. For example, Aaron Weiss' tossing around of the spoken word and obscure pains of agony could never really register in some people's minds. Weiss and Company has improved upon an already tried and true formula, get a lead singer that bounces around from point A all the way to point H and with a backflip. The band backs Weiss with a rock background that is not complex, not basic, and follows the mood around and does not let go! Catch for Us the Foxes talks about lust, confusion, and all the points in between, including adding a faith basis and a few warnings. mewithoutYou does things best when they sit down, relax, and play what they are best at, obscure artsy rock. Get a chance to see mewithoutYou, it helps for their recorded music to sink in deeper.

Few bands are capable of producing such an album, and even fewer actually reach such greatness. I believe that with Catch for us the Foxes, mewithoutYou has recorded a truly special album, an album that as a whole is much greater than each of its…The Phantom Tollbooth 2004Reviewed by Phil NicholsmewithoutYou is one of those bands that do an amazing job at polarizing their listeners: you either love them or you hate them. In the two years since this Philadelphia rock outfit released their debut record, [A-->B] Life, adamant supporters have lauded Aaron Weiss' spoken/shouted poetry as an astounding artistic innovation, while the equally adamant dissenters have written them off as random…Similar sounding releases
