So strongly can Mogwai ’s best music conjure images, colours, scenes and movement in the mind of the listener that it’s no surprise they’ve done their share of movie soundtrack work. But whereas their previous dalliances in the field were to provide sonic accompaniment to a film about a footballer ( Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait ) and a romantic drama starring Rachel Weisz ( The Fountain ), Les Revenants marks the first time where the subject matter of the on screen material seems, from [...]
Well, those Oscars sure did suck, didn't they? Long and boring. Highlights included a beautiful homage to the late Marvin Hamlisch, a man who picked my mom up in a Las Vegas elevator when she was 21 and took her out on some dates. They probably boned. My mom said they "just kissed" but you [...]
Tjutjuna is entrancing me with this new track off of their upcoming LP Westerner. "Mousetrap" is the perfect name for this song as it really feels like it's closing in on me the longer it goes on. The way guitars and depth build is a big part of the feeling of being surrounded by sounds. Mogwai is what comes to mind with what I'm hearing especially in a lot of the sounds that Tjutjuna has put together. I don't think there is anything wrong with that comparison because of there is one band that [...]

Cincinnati's Bunburry Festival, now in its second year, has announced an indie-heavy lineup for 2013. By indie heavy I mean, lots of indie and not much heavy. Headliners include The National, Belle & Sebastian, Yo La Tengo, MGMT, and fun. ... Bonarroo had an announcement today, too . Joining the unwashed masses in Tennessee will be Paul McCartney, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Wu-Tang Clan, Mumford and Sons, Bjork, Wilco, R. Kelly, The National and many, many, many more including Weird Al. Looking for a road trip, but not necessarily a festival weekend? In addition to that [...]
One would think that with a belly full of analgesics this mix tape would skew towards the quieter, dronier side of my music collection, but alas I'm not as euphoric and blissed-out as I thought I'd be. So you're left with these little nuggets, most of which (and by that I mean those that are [...]

Mogwai - Kill Jester Mogwai - Modern Yep. The previous Les Revenants EP was a mere preliminary warm-up for this sprawling follow-up full-length scored by the inimitable instrumental maestros in Mogwai, so expect even more haunting processionals of equal parts misery and majesty, the somber slow dirge sounds of interwoven cello and piano, and the occasional strangely uplifting anthemic opus that contrasts nicely with the rest of the eerie bits on this gorgeous OST. It is the score to a zombie series, after all . [...]

The Strokes' "All the Time" is not the return to form single everyone wishes it would be. To be a true return to the peak of reserved cool, one would first have to forget about 20112s superior, "Under the Cover of Darkness," and how throughout the rest of the album, Angles, the band tried their hardest to avoid the skittish rhythms and big hooks which made them stars. In other words, Angles sounded a lot like this mess - A four minute and two second argument as to why I've entered the skeptical [...]

MCII is due out May 7 via Merge . : Elephant - Skyscraper : The press release for this duo had a lot of information about their early success and the subsequent drama that followed it, but that stuff's no fun.

Scottish quintet Mogwai practically wrote the textbook on slow-build, loud-soft-loud-soft, epic instrumental post-rockback in the mid-902s. Now, on their new track “Wizard Motor,” they aren’t afraid to go off script. Keeping it shockingly brief - under 5 minutes - the sinister minor-key track stays true to the band's namesake; ‘Mogwai’ means “evil spirit” in Cantonese, and the band’s dark, brooding movements are ever-present on "Wizard Motor." It begins with a dirge-like organ, then deftly grafts pristine sheets of switching electric guitars, gritty, trashed bass lines, cavernous toms and gated electronic snare samples before making an ominous [...]

E juntos, Adam Green e Binki Shapiro , lançam seu álbum de estreia cheio de romantismo e saudosismo.

Adam também é espontâneo, mas nesse caso com uma voz grave, que em contraste com sua parceira faz [...]
![[MEGA Playlist] 60+ Instrumental Tracks You Need to Listen to](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4741497_lg.jpg)
Everyone loves lyrics. Whether they're light-hearted and playful, soul-gripping and gut-wrenching, or abstract and avant garde, we all love to sing along, relate certain verses to our personal lives, or just be taken away by another person's story. On the other hand, hearing a great instrumental track is an entirely different experience. Without having words to identify with, your brain is free to let the music create an image in your mind. The interpretation is more so up to you than if you had someone defining it with their own words. Having this blank canvas allows your mind [...]

Lo último que habíamos hablado sobre Mogwai era A Wrenched Virile Lore , un disco de remezclas de su último álbum de estudio, Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will . Sin embargo, los escoceses no quieren quedarse quietos y han grabado la banda sonora de Les Revenants, una serie de zombies de la televisión francesa. El resultado se traducirá en un nuevo disco de Mogwai con el nombre de la serie, que incluirá 14 canciones y que se publicará el 25 de febrero . [...]
