Mogwai

ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

The cosmic post-rock band Mogwai was formed in Glasgow, Scotland, in 1996 by guitarist/vocalist Stuart Braithwaite, guitarist Dominic Aitchison, and drummer Martin Bulloch, longtime friends with the goal of creating "serious guitar music." Toward that end they added another guitarist, John Cummings, before debuting in March 1996 with the single "Tuner," a rarity in the Mogwai discography for its prominent vocals; the follow-up, a split single with Dweeb titled "Angels vs. Aliens," landed in the Top Ten on the British indie charts.

The fourth album from Glasgow's kings of glowering, volatile quasi-instrumental rock is more subtle and nuanced than their previous work, compositionally beautiful but intense and trance-inducing at the same time. From the prominent keyboard rush of "The Kids Will Be Skeletons" to the glittering harmonics of the monumental "Rats at the Capital," "Happy Songs for Happy People" traces paths of heavy concentration. It's a massive evolution from the soft-loud-soft-loud explosions of their early work.[ read more ]

VINYL FORMAT. Mogwai's sixth album continues to showcase the fiercely layered guitars and dynamics of their classic work, and features a new array of rhythms and melodies. These hint more than ever before at their electronic and metal influences. Not only do they remain masters of the eloquently stretched guitar phrase, but they've also expanded the syntax to include a new, almost beat-driven sound.

Their most impressive work since Young Team, Mogwai's third album, Rock Action, boasts an ironic title as well as an ironically successful new direction. By stripping away much of the noodling and noise of their earlier work in favor of tighter structures, more immediate melodies, and vocals, they've recaptured the excitement that surrounded their first releases.
