Mogwai

[DF118]

I know it sounds like a "touch all bases" type album, but it sounds great after a couple of drinks.

That said, they'll never beat Happy Songs for Happy People, or Rock Action.

But then, I'm from Glasgow, so, eh.

Edit: Old Poisons is up there, though.

Anybody else experiencing a delay at local record shops for this new record? Love Garden told me they're now expecting CD + Vinyl on Sept 22nd. I put in my order for the box set there, just wondering about other people's experiences.

I've only listened to Every Country's Sun a couple times since the leak. It definitely sounds like a Mogwai record. Everything post-Rock Action has been a slow grower for me. Every record is superb, but I think I already like these songs more than Hardcore or Rave Tapes... time well tell

[liquidcalm]

I wasn't hugely fond of Rave Tapes, but really dug Hardcore Will Never Die, but then Hawk is Howling.. hated that at first, then somewhere down the line it became a favourite, this new one though? lovely, getting real old school Smashing Pumpkins vibes from Battered at a Scramble, and the slow burning tracks never out stay their welcome.

Happy Song will probably remain my personal fav, but this is certainly up there with Mr Beast and Hardcore for my personal Mogwai favs list. Love the B-side 'eternal Panther'.. I think there are also enough vocal tracks by them now that I could scrape together a 'Mogwai songs with vocals' mix cd...

[henryeatscereal]

Mixed opinions, i dig it...

I think this album is a grower, not the best and not the worst, i liked "Rave Tapes" better, but i also think this album has lots of quality and can be listened at any moment (unlike "Tapes" or "Hawk is howling"); that's why i compared it to "Rock Action".

Temporary Residence Ltd. is their US label. The CD is out on the 8th and the record is out on the 22nd. But the box set is delayed due to pressing plant backups.

I'm liking this album a lot. Much better than their soundtrack for the bbc and their last album.

Cross-post...

I checked with my local shop and they said it is a Worldwide release. Looks like the UK is getting the larger portion though.

It is exclusive to the UK and Ireland; I believe they misread/misinterpreted the information and may not have had the last part:

 it is available as a heavyweight white vinyl with download code and this format will only be available as a limited run worldwide and has been produced especially for record store day 2018.  limited to 2000 for the uk and ireland

Any remaining stock will be available to purchase online in a week (from places like Resident Music).

Can I have some Mogwai advice please? I’m going to see them live on Monday, are they the sort of band you need earplugs for?

Yes, it's a wise idea to bring earplugs.
Even though they have lots of "quiet" parts on the show, you will hear lots of noise and i mean LOTS, they also like to play really loud, so beware

[chuckrh]

the mogwai soundtrack was the best thing about the film "kin"

I didn't watch the film, but the soundtrack was good, but my favorite soundtrack by them it's "Atomic"

the last time i saw them, i was front & center and could barely hear for like a full 24 hours after the show. bring earplugs (and not the cheap foam ones)

[WorzelG]

Thanks @eversonpoe and @henryeatscereal earplugs have been ordered.

[halo eighteen]

Yeah I've learned kind of not fuck around with shoegaze/noise bands like Caspian, Nothing, etc. Fuck, even two-piece garage rock band Blood Red Shoes who were opening for dance /electronic act The Presets had my ears ringing for two days later but I was stupidly right in front of the girl's amp. This is probably aged me talking, but most things at small clubs earplugs are probably a great idea. Bigger rooms, especially arenas and amphitheaters really have space for the sound to move around. You're just stuck inside a noise trap otherwise and even if you think you're superman, you really are doing irreparable damage if you see enough shows. Good earplugs shouldn't worsen the sound.

In my experience, really good earplugs make it easier to pick out the individual instruments and lyrics. This may just be me, but when things are super loud, I kind of get overloaded and just hear the most intense parts of the instrumentation and have a really hard time with understanding the lyrics. Wearing earplugs completely changed the concert experience for me.

In an annoying turn of events I’ve caught a shitty cold and won’t be able to go to see them tonight, grr so pissed off. I was really looking forward to this

Such a shame, i hope you get to watch them because they are great live!

Wow, this thread hasn't been touched in a while.
Thought it worth noting that the new Mogwai soundtrack album for ZeroZeroZero is up on Bandcamp as pay what you want. This is for a limited period only.
I've not been able to give it a listen yet, but I'm going to assume it will be pretty good.

Beautiful song/video!



I just found out that the new album features a contribution by Atticus Ross:

Album art is gorgeous!

Reminds me of Stan Brakhage.
