You can now stream what will end up easily being a top 5 record of the year for me in mewithoutYou’s Ten Stories. The stream comes a full week before the album’s release. Make sure you get your preorder before it drops

mewithoutYou launched preorders for Ten Stories this morning. I’m definitely tempted to go drop $50 on the deluxe collectors edition. This album is definitely worth it, plus with a free download of “Fox’s Dream of the Log Flume” for every pre-order, why wouldn’t you? Check out the coinciding EPK video from the band detailing much of the process behind the making and self-releasing of the new album.

Stream the lead track “February 1878″ from mewithoutYou’s highly anticipated new record Ten Stories. I’ve been lucky enough to have a few listens at it and I gotta say, the mwY faithful are gonna be extremely pleased. You can also read an interview Paste did with drummer Rickie Mazzotta here.

Key Studio Video Session #5 – Me Without You from WXPN FM on Vimeo.

Last week mewithoutYou abandoned plans to release the Key Sessions they had promised featuring the debut of 3 new songs…A week later here we are with at least something to show for those promises.

Apparently the band didn’t think the quality of the recordings/performances were up to their standards enough to release them, so instead what we’ve got is a 7 minute interview, sequencing back and forth between an interview with the band and clips of the 3 new songs which are “Cardiff Giant” “East Enders Wives” and “February 1878″.

Though you can see the quality does sound a little bit off, I still wish we could’ve gotten a preview of at least one full song…I’m dying to hear the band take a full shot at “February 1878″…Wow.

Here’s to hoping we get more from these guys SOONER rather than later.
