: Release Notes: \/ , \/ ,
' '
,: Mogwai are a busy band. Many acts nearing the end of their third :,
: decade would be forgiven for slowing their pace, for being :
:' selective in their output, and even for running out of ideas. ':
,: Not Mogwai. This will be their fourth studio album in the last :,
: 10 years - a decade which has also seen them release three EPs, :
:' two live albums, a lovingly compiled six LP best-of, one remix ':
,: album, and five original scores - albums which themselves have :,
: been critically acclaimed in their own right. :
:' ':
,: Originally set to be recorded in the US, the pandemic of 2020 :,
: saw the band relocate to the Worcestershire countryside, while :
:' producer Dave Fridmann worked remotely from across the ':
,: Atlantic. An unusual setup, in an unusual year, but the results :,
: are startlingly focussed; æAs The Love ContinuesÆ sees Mogwai :
:' cover diverse sonic ground, drawing from many of their most ':
,: interesting and successful creative peaks from previous albums. :,
: :
:' Opening track æTo The Bin My Friend, Tonight We Vacate EarthÆ ':
,: is as huge as they've ever sounded; taking a simple, dramatic :,
: melody and gradually adding layers upon layers of shimmering :
:' clamour, while æDry FantasyÆ adds a glorious analogue synth ':
,: lead to an albeit more tentative backing track. æFuck Off MoneyÆ :,
: is vast - distorted cymbals slowly and malevolentally :
:' overpowering the track in five and a half minutes of blissful ':
,: noise - while æMidnight FlitÆ, featuring contributions from Nine :,
: Inch Nails' Atticus Ross, is a superbly crafted synthetic :
:' journey, built on a solid rhythmic structure but beatufully ':
,: adorned with keys and pizzicatto strings. æCeiling GrannyÆ, :,
: possibly the best titled track of the year, isn't post-rock - :
:' it's ROCK, in capital letters - bringing to mind Scottish peers ':
,: Teenage Fanclub and Idlewild more than Slint or Explosions In :,
: The Sky. :
:' ':
,: Penultimate track æSupposedly, We Were NightmaresÆ recalls the :,
: less Krauty moments of sometime label-mates The Phantom Band, :
:' before the perfectly titled æIt's What I Want To Do, MumÆ ':
,: sounds exactly like a band who have been together since their :,
: teens, and are still creating music they are excited and :
:' energised by. ':
,: :,
: Over their 25 years as a band, Mogwai have grown self-assured in :
:' both their abilities and their limitations, and while some ':
,: bands struggle to fit all their influences into a distinct :,
: whole, Mogwai confidently defy post-rock conventions and stick :
:' to what they're good at; taking simple melodies and rhythms and ':
,: garnishing them with an epic grandiosity. :,
: :
:' æAs The Love ContinuesÆ is Mogwai at their best, and is ':
,: possibly their most consistent record since 2006's æMr BeastÆ. :,
: Their mums should be proud. :
