mewithoutYou live forever.
Chaotic and somber, polished yet frenetic, mewithoutYou’s unpredictable and wildly dynamic stage show set them apart from their peers and endeared them to lovers of music for over two decades. But since the band left the stage following their 2022 “Farewell” tour, fans have been left to scour the internet for remnants of their dramatic live sound. "Live", the band’s latest project, hopes to bring that search to an end.
Dramatic. Loud. Expansive. No Repeats.
"Live" is a collage of performances recorded over the band’s final years on tour, carved into three singular shows and spread across three separate volumes; sculpted to recreate the sensory experience of any one of the band’s hundreds of cathartic and masterfully varied performances. Recorded and mixed by longtime touring sound engineer Michael Lane and mastered by Grammy Award-winner Hans DeKline (U2, Pixies, Touché Amore), "Live" is a meticulously crafted series of live albums meant to be listened to with the volume knob turned up.

As each song flows into the next, so does each volume, picking up where the last left off until it begins again.
All three volumes are available exclusively through the band's online store on 2XLP vinyl, compact disc, and cassette, each accompanied by bold, dimensional new artwork from longtime collaborator and friend, Vasily Kafanov.
As mewithoutYou continues to spin in a dark void of uncertainty, “Live” offers fans — new and old — a chance to experience the band in its most psychedelic and whimsical form over and over again.
