Was into Mogwai from the beginning with the pivotal Ten Rapid and 4 Satin, but the last Mogwai LP I bought was Mr Beast in 2006, so plenty new to me here, and lots of catching up to do! On 2018 Live, the last 4 tracks are where I'm at, I just love all of that feedback and distortion. From my collection of their first decade, the epic 20 minute My Father My King is my all time favourite - I have no idea if their releases after 2006 have yielded anything comparable... only one way to find out!...

Like winter branches lined with snow and ice, Sam Ray (Ricky Eat Acid, Teen Suicide)'s latest is delicate, spare, melancholy, and beautiful. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 3, 2018

I think the album is better than Souvlaki. Individual parts aren't complex but the songs are cleverly structured and tailored to individual band members strengths, combining to create an encompassing sound, energised through driving, melodic bass and layered guitar/keyboard surges. The vocals are honey in the mix, melodic, familiar, conveying humanity with harmonies perfectly placed and weighted, creating a restrained kind of euphoria. tideracer
