Here is the official video for Mogwai's opening salvo from their latest release, Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will. The clip for 'Rano Pano' is said to inspired by 80s VHS tapes, and features two boozers who successfully construct a strange dimensional device... Check it out below. Not long to wait now before the new LP hits - only a month! (NB - SM has heard the album; Paul thinks its a game changer...)
So we have another taste of what's to come on Mogwai's new LP Hardcore Will Never Die But You Will. The edited track 'How To Be A Werewolf' scores photographer Antony Crook's short film Thirty Century Man, which artfully showcases champion around-the-world cyclist James Bowthorpe as he travels around the roads of Norway. Its beautifully shot, especially where Bowthorpe comes out of a tunnel, his cape flapping behind him, the colour bleaching out of the sourroundings...and the track accompanies it all wonderfully. Check it out below.
Here at Sonic Masala, there are certain bands that lie at our very soul they are the bands that tie us together, the bands that we first started talking about. So when one of these bands has news of a new album we get really excited. This time its Mogwai who have us in a lathery sweat with news about their new album Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will.
The Glasgow legends will drop their seventh long player, naturally on Rock Action, on the 14th February 2011. Out on the 15th on Sub Pop for those Stateside. There's a track listing, see below. And there's even a few more facts about the L.P to get even more excited about. One, its produced by Mogwai confidante Paul Savage, the man who produced Young Team. Two, the Limited Edition version of the album will feature a 26 minute long track called The Singing Mountain recorded for Douglas Gordon and Olaf Nicolai’s Monument for Forgotten Future installation in Essen, Germany. Three, there's those live dates that were announced months back that now fit in with the release date, new live material then, dribble!
Finally four, here's some gratuitous Mogwai related vid and track etc, no reason other than why the fuck not?
