Mogwai: The Bad Fire 2x12" (Indie Exclusive)
Clear Vinyl
The arrival of a new Mogwai album ā their eleventh ā is cause for great celebration. The albumās title, The Bad Fire, is a working-class Glaswegian term for Hell. It reflects the difficult time that members of the band were going through. New to the studio was American producer John Congleton, known for his work with Explosions In The Sky, Sigur RĆ³s, John Grant and pretty much everyone in between. Congletonās work can be heard on the albumās three singles. The album opener āGod Gets You Backā sounds like Daft Punk being hunted by My Bloody Valentine, while āFanzine Made Of Fleshā sounds like a victory parade for a baby yeti; and āLion Rumpusā does actually sound like a lion rumpus. The music of Mogwai is a difficult thing to describe, but an easy thing to experience. At punishing volume, it can annihilate your body, leaving you as little more than a head which should by rights fall helplessly to the ground. Yet the music contains an updraft, a sense of beauty encased in the onslaught. This holds you up, suspended and empowered, reminding you that paradise is your birthright. This is especially true of The Bad Fire. It may have been created in dark conditions, but all that is transcended by the act of four musicians working together here, now, in the moment ā the only place where Mogwai exist.
