And the Glass Handed Kites is the fourth studio album by Danish alternative rock band Mew. It was released on 19 September 2005, and in the United States on 25 July 2006. And the Glass Handed Kites was composed as a single continuous suite. Critics have likened the album to one long song due to the tracks’ unnoticed transitions. The album has won several music prizes in Denmark, including four Danish Music Awards. The album also helped Mew win awards outside of Denmark, with the band winning the 2005 MTV Europe Music Award for Best Danish Act. The Japanese bonus track, “Shiroi Kuchibiruno Izanai” is an alternate version of “White Lips Kissed” with the lyrics and title translated into Japanese.
