How does your pre-order work?

Just when you thought you'd heard every trick in the Mogwai playbook (loud-quiet-loud, quiet-loud-quiet, quiet-quiet-loud, just-loud, etc), the Glaswegian quartet find new ways to headbutt you with their magic. For 11th album The Bad Fire, Mogwai enlisted veteran producer John Congleton (Explosions in the Sky, John Grant), resulting in a track description that's got us hungry to hear more right off the bat - "sounds like Daft Punk being hunted by My Bloody Valentine". YES! - Flying Out


The arrival of a new Mogwai album - their eleventh - is cause for great celebration. The album's title, The Bad Fire, is a working-class Glaswegian term for Hell. It reflects the difficult time that members of the band were going through. New to the studio was American producer John Congleton, known for his work with Explosions In The Sky, Sigur Rós, John Grant and pretty much everyone in between. Congleton's work can be heard on the album's three singles. The album opener "God Gets You Back" sounds like Daft Punk being hunted by My Bloody Valentine, while "Fanzine Made Of Flesh" sounds like a victory parade for a baby yeti; and "Lion Rumpus" does actually sound like a lion rumpus. The music of Mogwai is a difficult thing to describe, but an easy thing to experience. At punishing volume, it can annihilate your body, leaving you as little more than a head which should by rights fall helplessly to the ground. Yet the music contains an updraft, a sense of beauty encased in the onslaught. This holds you up, suspended and empowered, reminding you that paradise is your birthright. This is especially true of The Bad Fire. It may have been created in dark conditions, but all that is transcended by the act of four musicians working together here, now, in the moment - the only place where Mogwai exist.
