"Ten Stories reconciles mewithoutYou's early, plugged-in aggression and their more recent fondness for plaintive folk storytelling to an impressive degree...another compelling act in the progression of an underground favorite..." - Alternative Press

"Ten Stories" is wrapped up in a state of constant turbulence that whirls to a dizzying climax...another remarkable addition to mewithoutYou's catalog." - Alter The Press!

mewithoutYou has made their 5th album Ten Stories available to preview in its entirety on Spotify today. Listen to the stream here<http://open.spotify.com/album/36ISXFaX1E98V1ARHesB6C>. The album will be released May 15th on the band's own label Pine Street. This premiere comes on the heels of the album pre-order launch which caused such a frenzy that additional pressings of the deluxe edition had to be added after fans quickly burned through the initial allotment. Pre-orders for the digital download, CD, 150-gram colored vinyl LP and the Collector's Box Set, is still underway - please visit www.mewithoutYou.com<http://www.mewithoutYou.com> for details. Every pre-sale order will come with an automatic free download of album track "Fox's Dream of the Log Flume," to which Paramore's Haley Williams contributed backing vocals.

The band has also announced the second leg of their North American tour, beginning July 13th in Cleveland and wrapping August 19th in the band's hometown of Philadelphia. Kevin Devine and Buried Beds will open. The first leg of the tour kicks off in Washington, DC on May 17th, with Buried Beds and Imaginary Cities opening on all dates.

With 10 years as a band under their belt, it is only fitting that mewithoutYou has managed to make their most expansive and dynamic album to date.  Ten Stories toys with the band's favorite themes of romantic disaster and quasi-mystical speculation, offering up a collection of allegorical songs about a circus train crash in 19th century Montana. Through the fable-like interactions of fictitious animals, the songs offer up deep ponderings about human character. It is these ruminations on life, love, loss and spirituality for which mewithoutYou has become so well-loved. Ten Stories is yet another gem for their catalogue.
