Mogwai unveil their new song, "Fanzine Made Of Flesh"
Mogwai have released their new song "Fanzine Made Of Flesh", as the latest cut to be taken from their forthcoming eleventh album, The Bad Fire.
“Fanzine Made of Flesh was written in Brooklyn when I was staying at Alex Kapranos’s house in autumn 2023," says Stuart Braithwaite. "In my head it sounds like a cross between ABBA, swervedriver and Kraftwerk though that might be ludicrous. It originally has a straight vocal but we ended up vocoding it on the last day of recording. It’s pretty different and I’m really happy with how it turned out.”
The forthcoming album features recent singles “God Gets You Back” and"Lion Rumpus", and arrives ahead of a world tour taking place in 2025.
“When I was sent the track, I embraced being unable to understand any of the words, and I didn’t want to know where the title came from," says video director Agnes Haus. "As I was listening, I wanted to make a video that matched that - a pseudo-film trailer with a jumbled plot that you can never grasp. You kind of have to piece it all together on your own. I really wanted it to seem like there could be a full-length film version with vague horror tones, emotional entanglement, and nods to weird art films from the 90s, and an autobiographical storyline about growing up non-binary, but not realising it. Perhaps one day I’ll extend it into a full film.
The Bad Fire is set for release on 24 January 2025 via Rock Action Records, and is available to pre-order now.
