About this album

Columbia (2003) Released: 7 Apr 2003 10 tracks (48:06)
Frengers is the third album by Danish band Mew, released in April 2003.

The title is a portmanteau of the words friend and stranger. A frenger is a person who is “not quite a friend but not quite a stranger” according to the album’s accompanying booklet.

Many of the tracks on the album were previously included on Mew’s first two albums Half The World Is Watching Me and A Triumph For Man, both of which saw only limited release. Although these tracks were re-recorded for Frengers, only “Am I Wry? No” and “156” differ substantially from their original incarnations. The Frengers version of “Her Voice Is Beyond Her Years” also differs from the version on the first edition of Half The World Is Watching Me, but due to the rarity of that edition, most listeners have similar versions. The song “Her Voice Is Beyond Her Years” features vocals from Swedish singer Stina Nordenstam and “Symmetry” features vocals from 12 year old Georgian Becky Jarrett.
