Mastered at Abbey Road by
Frank Arkwright, the new album is both transcendent and surprising, and it continues to show that Mogwai are still offering solace from the mundane. In a review from
Clash Music, the album is given 9/10 and described as “
their best, and is possibly their most consistent record since 2006's ‘Mr Beast’.” Today (22 July), it has also been announced that the album has been shortlisted for this year’s
Mercury Prize!Tracks include
To The Bin My Friend, Tonight We Vacate Earth, which is according to Clash Music “
as huge as they've ever sounded”, and
It's What I Want To Do, Mum which “
sounds exactly like a band who have been together since their teens, and are still creating music they are excited and energised by”.
