Mogwai - Musical style

Mogwai's style has been influenced by bands including MC5, My Bloody Valentine, Fugazi, and post-rock pioneers Slint. During 2004, the band supported tours by two major influences, Pixies and The Cure. Mogwai's style has easily identifiable connections to genres like shoegazing, math rock, art rock and occasionally instrumental metal. Douglas Wolk, writing for SPIN in 1999 said of the band "Their compositions have gotten increasingly drawn-out and austere over time, sometimes barely more than a single arpeggiated chord or two evolving for ten minutes or more, whisperingly brutal in a way that recalls Slint more than any other band".

Mogwai - Rock Action


Introduction:

"Rock Action" is the third full-length studio album by Scottish post-rock band Mogwai. The album's title comes from Iggy Pop's nickname for his Stooges bandmate, Scott Asheton. Rock Action brought with it some changes to Mogwai's sound that they would continue to develop later, including the use of electronic instruments. While song structures on this CD are typical of the band in most cases and respects, some of the contrasting dynamics have been toned down slightly and many of the songs focus more on texture than on structure. The single "Dial: Revenge" fills much the same role that "Cody" did on Come on Die Young, featuring Welsh vocals from Gruff Rhys of Super Furry Animals; the inside cover is unfolded, part of the logo for Mwng, an album by Super Furry Animals released the previous year, can be seen. The sound of Rock Action is somewhat less dark than previous works, but maintains Mogwai's cryptic cynicism.

Track List:

Songs in the album are as follows:

Sine Wave
Take Me Somewhere Nice
O I Sleep
Dial: Revenge
You Don't Know Jesus
Robot Chant
2 Rights Make 1 Wrong
Secret Pint
Untitled
Close Encounters

Achievement:

The Mogwai's 2001 album "Rock Action" gave them their highest album chart placing, reaching No: 23.

Mogwai - Come on Die Young


Introduction:

"Come on Die Young", also known as CODY, is the second full-length studio album by the Scottish post-rock band Mogwai, released on 29 March 1999 by Chemikal Underground. It is somewhat different from the rest of Mogwai's work because of its reserved tone. The album's second track, "Cody" is much more like a traditional pop song than most of the band's repertoire. Still slow and meandering, it features an uncharacteristically distinct melody, slide guitar and relatively prominent vocals. Much of Come on Die Young consists of slow, quiet, drum-driven tracks containing tense, feedback-laden crescendos and occasionally ambient textures. Near the end of the album, the bombastic "Christmas Steps" breaks away from this quiet tension and displays a return to Mogwai's more well-known distortion-heavy dynamics. The album's title derives from a Glasgow gang of the same name.

Track List:

The Popular songs in the album are as follows:

Punk Rock
Cody
Helps Both Ways
Year 2000 Non-Compliant Cardia
Kappa
Waltz for Aidan
May Nothing But Happiness Come Through Your Door
Oh! How the Dogs Stack Up
Ex-Cowboy
Chocky
Christmas Steps
Punk Rock/Puff Daddy/Antichrist

Achievement:

The album reached No: 29 in the UK

Mogwai - Introduction


Mogwai are a Scottish post-rock band, formed in 1995 in Glasgow. The band consists of Stuart Braithwaite, John Cummings, Barry Burns, Dominic Aitchison, and Martin Bulloch. The band typically composes lengthy guitar-based instrumental pieces that feature dynamic contrast, melodic bass guitar lines, and heavy use of distortion and effects. "Mogwai" means "evil spirit" or "devil" in Cantonese. " Mogwai are known traditionally for their quiet and loud dynamic, defined bass riffs, and an eminent ambient sound, sometimes dark and sometimes grand. Although frequently referred to as post-rock, the band have revealed in interviews that they despise this categorization, insisting that their sound bears little resemblance to pioneers of the genre, such as Tortoise.
