Description
Mogwai – “As the Love Continues” LP
After 25 years, 10 studio albums, a dozens of EPs, and plentiful film scores Mogwai continue on their mission of providing a rich soundtrack to some of life’s more dramatic and poignant moments. Ascending through the noise levels with ochestral post-rock to the fore, and always, to their credit, with a undercurrent of subtle humour (“Fuck Off Money” – great song title). Elements of motorik, post-hardcore, indie-pop, all jostle around with a chunk of the old school – harkens back to their formative Ten Rapid days – reminding us that they hit on a very good idea, long, long time ago, and that they were wise to hold on tight to at least a part of it throughout the decades that followed.
