Mogwai go dream-pop on new single "Party In The Dark"

29 June 2017, 14:59 | Written by Laurence Day

Scottish post-rock titans Mogwai have shaken up their approach on rampaging rock number "Party In The Dark".

It's as thickly textured and immersive as ever, but with attention-grabbing pop hooks and a fucking massive chorus, it's far from the moody slow-burners many know them for. This is bright, hazy, and effortlessly infectious.

"Party In The Dark" is the follow up to "Coolverine", the lead single from upcoming Dave Fridmann-produced record Every Country's Sun - it's their first studio album since 2014's Rave Tapes (although OST record Atomic arrived last year).

Mogwai will headline Festival No. 6 in September as part of a massive tour, and end their jaunt with a hometown arena show in Glasgow.

Tracklist:

  1. Coolverine
  2. Party In The Dark
  3. Brain Sweeties
  4. Crossing The Road Material
  5. aka 47
  6. 20 Size
  7. 1000 Foot Face
  8. Don’t Believe The Fife
  9. Battered At A Scramble
  10. Old Poisons
  11. Every Country’s Sun
Every Country's Sun is out 1 September via Mogwai's own Rock Action.
