“New” Mogwai: “Folk Death 95″
February 22nd, 2006 by Matt
While not technically new, “Folk Death 95″ is the first song that we bloggers have been allowed to post. Mogwai’s new album, Mr. Beast, is pretty interesting. It’s a lot more strung-out than what little of their older work I’m familiar with.
MP3: Mogwai – Folk Death 95
I’m not a huge fan of instrumentals. The last time I got excited about one was when I posted that Jason Forrest song “War Photographer.” That one got me all hot and bothered. This new one from Mogwai? Not so much. This one’s up basically because I want you all to let me know if there’s some big Mogwai secret that I’m missing out on.
I’m the new Clever Titles guest poster. Bethanne had an entire day of Matts!
For the Lexingtonians among you: I got interviewed by The Kernel today. I have no idea when it’ll run, but just know to look out for it. Also, don’t forget about that Eef Barzelay instore performance tomorrow at CD Central. It should be good.

as for mogwai, the one song that i really liked was the u-ziq remix. eight hours of chaotic hard sounds and i loved it.
but don’t let it intimidate you. i love mogwai. i think they’re fabulous. (i’m a sucker for instrumental music.)

I think bands like Mogwai, Godspeed You Black Emperor and even Sigur Rós(I have no time to learn “Hopelandish”)are like “progish” indie music. You know, they fill that void of “epical” music, lacking in a lot of indie music. You can watch Lord of the Rings with Mogwai and it fits perfectly. :)

if your looking for the big Mogwai secret, its more of in their back catalog. Im not saying their newer stuff isnt great. But, the first time i heard their debut full length “Young Team” i was blown away. “Mogwai Fear Satan” is 16 minutes of amazing. “Helicon 1″ is a song that i could listen to for days. I do like instrumentals personally, because sometimes they can convey things that words cannot. At times they can give you a feeling, or a moment of wonder at the beauty of what you heard. Without words, sometimes you need to figure out what you are feeling inside more, that what someone else is feeling from their lyrics. That is why i love bands like Mogwai, GYBE!or Saxon Shore.
