I'm hoping they get the Twilight Sad to support. Twilight Sad were the support when I first saw Mogwai back in 2011 and I have been pretty obsessed since, that'd be amazing!

Derek™ Posted January 23, 2017 Author Share Posted January 23, 2017 I have a hunch that the announcement for a new album is imminent, but this was admittedly a buzzkill, for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are right about the new album announcement. Until then, they have announced a world tour: http://www.mogwai.co.uk/news/2677/world_tour_announced radiatorhums and ethereal 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glass realms Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 (edited) If you use the Ticketmaster app, you can buy pre-sale tickets without a password.

Redder Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Why all vinyl pre-orders from Temporary Residence will receive a free "Party In The Dark" 7" vinyl single shipped with each order but the Europe version don't? Shipping cost to Spain from Mogwai UK Store are €19,63... it's crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek™ Posted May 14, 2017 Author Share Posted May 14, 2017 Yeah, the white is a buzzkill. Not the worst variant in this scenario, but certainly not a top pick. If I was a lesser man, I'd grab the deluxe and the indie clear, swap out the vinyl itself, and sell that 1/1 "indie white" for dirt cheap. Knowing me, I may end up getting both though. I'm a sucker for prints, and quite like the aesthetic of this album's cover a lot more than Rave Tapes. The inclusion of art prints, a bonus 12" of content, and a fancy box to house it in seems worthy of springing an extra $25 for. Definitely among the more reasonably price boxes I've seen in a while. I haven't listened to the new single yet. The writeup sounds fairly enticing; I figured they weren't done with their spacey synth sounds, and it sounds like ECS will have them sprinkled in healthily. Rave Tapes didn't really have any moments that achieved the signature Mogwai wall of monumental guitars and massive climaxes, so I'm hoping the album description isn't exaggerating the return to that sound on a handful of tracks featured on the new album. radiatorhums 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damnit, I've been trying to talk myself out of the box...but I completely agree with you. Buying the box. radiatorhums 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skacel Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Yeah, I'm in for the box. Got to keep the collection going. Will likely grab the clear too. radiatorhums 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted May 14, 2017 Author Share Posted May 14, 2017 Other than zdkaiser who already voiced his approval... what are you guys thinking of the single, if you've checked it out yet? There was a comment in the Youtube section that likened a God Is An Astronaut vibe to the track. I think that's a fair comparison to draw. I feel like it incorporates a lot of synths nicely but without getting in to the "sci-fi" vibes that Rave Tapes had. (Not that I'm overly opposed to those. I just think there's a time and a place, and I'm grateful they're not retreading the same ground with the new single.) The synth used in Coolverine is almost like a chilly, ethereal one that's present in a lot of GIAA tracks; really conveys that feeling of being lost among the stars. [Sidenote that YT's Tracy will forever be Mogwai's best star-gazing song – their take on it in 2017 is welcome, too, though.] Pretty pleased with the first listen and eager to hear more.
