Listen to... Mogwai

MOGWAI
New Album "As The Love Continues" out February 19th 2021

Drawn-out and sparse soundscapes, electronic bits and atmospheric synthesizers, chords evolving, dramatic build-ups, majestic climaxes, white noise and tranquil ambience...

During their already 25 years of existence MOGWAI have released 9 albums and many EPs as well as soundtrack contributions such as "Zidane", "Les Revenants", "Kin", "ZeroZeroZero". They easily master the balancing act between 20 minute instrumental compositions and 4 minute (art) pop songs.

After putting out a great live album named "2018" last year (which is available at "name your price" through the link given below) they are now about to release their 10th studio album "As The Love Continues". Being totally overwhelmed by the second single "Ritchie Sacramento" we can't help but to introduce this band and album.

New Album "Fantasy Country" out February 26th 2021

Seven years ago I stumbled across these australian Shoegaze/Psych Rockers and their debut single "Wavygravy" through the amazing Coast Is Clear Blog. Besides their gift for perfect sonic texture, shimmering atmospherics and a heavy dose of melody, their straight to the point approach in songwriting is what separates them from the entourage of Shoegaze or Psychedelic Rock bands who are often getting lost in FX pedal showmanship and endless tiring jams. If you're not addicted to this Melbourne fourpiece already, tune in with their new album "Fantasy Country" which will be out on February 26th 2021. Here's where you can listen and how you can get it...

Leave them all behind...
