Scottish post-rockers Mogwai will release their new album, Rave Tapes, on Janaury 21st via Sub Pop. In anticipation, it’s available to stream in full below (via the Guardian).
Serving as the follow-up to 2011’s excellent Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will, the 10-track effort was self-produced by the band alongside Paul Savage (Franz Ferdinand, Teenage Fanclub). A press release describes it as a “lustrous collection mined from the same quarry as its predecessors, wreathed in painterly textures underpinned by increasingly electronic beats”, adding that “the guitars on which Mogwai built their reputation still remain, if for the most part less overtly belligerent this time round. With Rave Tapes, Mogwai’s mastery of sound and space is firmly at its apex.”
Pre-orders for the album are ongoing.
