mewithoutYou

"Messes of Men" by mewithoutYou from Brother, Sister (2006)

mewithoutYou's unique sound makes each of their releases (from 2002's [A→B] Life to 2009's It's All Crazy! It's All False! It's All a Dream! It's Alright) a very interesting listen. Aaron Weiss' vocals generally sound tortured as he alternates between spoken word and broken yelps to tell each of his cryptic stories, "Messes of Men" being no exception. Being a Christian band there are many religious sentiments to mewithoutYou's music, but don't let that scare you off; the gospel undertones in their sound add greatly to the thematic elements of their records.
