Stereogum with a nice write-up on (the still criminally underrated) mewithoutYou:
I am writing this on the 10th anniversary of their sixth album, Pale Horses, because I believe that this band, and this album in particular, is still perplexingly overlooked and under-discussed. Part of the reason for this is that it’s hard to explain the band’s appeal. They’re hard to contextualize. Most people just don’t know what their deal is. mewithoutYou appears only sporadically in this fine publication, despite a 20+ year career opening for bands like Cursive and the Dismemberment Plan. One of their songs is namechecked in a 2014 list of 30 songs from the golden era of emo, and there’s a few honorable mentions of their new music in the postscripts of articles about other Songs/Albums of the Week. The only real dedicated coverage came in 2022 in write-ups of the band’s farewell tour.
