Album Of The Day: Brother, Sister by mewithoutYou

Album Art of mewithoutYou's Brother, Sister album - On the edges, what looks like a bronze or wood frame borders this artwork. The main artwork is a drawing/painting of a dark gray fish with a brown/orange vertical structure on its back in the middle, with the moon on the left side and the sun on the right. Closer inspection of the artwork shows it's made of a collage of smaller line drawings of fish, people, etc.

mewithoutYou's first album was a nu-metal album, in my opinion, but by this album, they were a band that straddled heavy rock and folk music. Vocalist Aaron Weiss alternates between spoken word and screaming while the guitar, bass and drums meld with the lyrics well. It's not often you get heavy rock albums with harp, melodica and brass instruments. The lyrics are very poetic and hard to understand, and they do include Muslim, Christian and Jewish imagery as well as images of nature. There's really no other band like mewithoutYou, and Brother, Sister is one of their best albums, in my opinion.
