New album artwork
Scottish noise experts MOGWAI have their
11th LP, baptized THE BAD FIRE, out today.
Press info: “The Bad Fire was recorded at Chem19 studios in Scotland with
American Grammy Award winning producer John Congleton (St Vincent, Angel
Olsen, John Grant) joining the band in the studio for their eleventh album.
A Scottish colloquialism for Hell, The Bad Fire draws inspiration from a series
of tough personal moments that the band found themselves in following on
from their chart-topping tenth album, As The Love Continues.”
Pitchfork: “On their 11th album, the long-running post-rockers open up disarming,
uplifting new dimensions to their sound without veering too far from familiar paths.
Post-rock’s preeminent pranksters have become the sort of band who can now claim
they’re making happy songs for happy people and actually mean it.”
TUTV: Mogwai‘s sonorous concept and sonic approach hasn’t changed much over the years. The Scots still construct walls of electrical-symphonic sound and still manufacture quiet/Loud/quiet/Loud jams. I admit I was never a great Mogwai fan and this record will not change that. Definitely one for their huge fanbase.
SINGLES: Gods Get You Back / Lion Rumpus / Fanzine Made Of Flesh
