This week's list of new releases is short but sweet. You'll find enough new music out today to make your trip to your favorite record store a rewarding venture. One of the most interesting new releases, but probably not the best holiday gift for even most music listeners, is a mind-bending sonic collage from 602s popstar turned uncompromising yet highly influential experimental artist Scott Walker . Out today, Bish Bosch is now available to eager fans awaiting the followup to his equally challenging though much darker 2006 album, The Drift . The nearly indescribable Bish [...]
Verse Metrics , a Glaswegian quartet, have released their moody EP, Radians today. A five-song EP, it traverses indie post-punk well with clacking rhythms and slow guitar melodies that feel like Interpol threw them out for the bums to fight over. Now, Verse Metrics does this with some class - don't let me call them bums. They shine in certain spots, where in others, they just sound like Mogwai b-sides. The guitar-only bit that builds in "Aches" is incendiary, and you can download the single from their [...]
The modern masters of post-rock crescendos, Mogwai practically developed a meticulous formula for the careful structure and subsequent disentanglement of tension. The Scotsmen have traversed the ends of the post-rock spectrum with wide, sprawling paces since their seminal 1997 debut, Young Team , melding the weight of interweaving guitars with a ghostly ambience. The group’s most recent album, Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will , their most structured release to date, has received an experimental redux with A Wrenched Virile Lore, featuring various electronic reimaginings of the heady originals. [...]
Frank Yang Even since they were very small and giving away downloads of their debut mini-album A Balloon Called Moaning for free in February 2009 , The Joy Formidable have been huge. Huge in ambition, both sound- and career-wise, as evidenced by their massive-sounding full-length debut The Big Roar and the relentless touring schedule that surrounded it. Since their local debut in May 2010 , they've been through Toronto a half-dozen times, including two nights this past week - Sunday night opening [...]
The seminal tag is one that has been stitched into the reminiscences of all too many an LP of late. So commonplace is its usage that the adjective is now often utilised to ultimately define records without refute, some of which have only been about for a scant scattering of year. It's a catastrophic shame; a disagreeable bastardisation of the English language, as it seems to ensure that certain albums in few ways enduring engage for a far more protracted period than they perhaps ought, thereby frequently overshadowing works of a superior, if consequently suppressed craft. Goodbye [...]
El año de Mogwai incluyó el lanzamiento de un álbum de remixes, la participación en la banda sonora de una película, y por si esto fuera poco, el día de ayer salió al aire un capítulo del programa de TV francés Les Revenants en el que la banda escocesa compuso una nueva obra. La banda lanzará la banda sonora de este último trabajo a través de su discográfica, Rock Action Records, y lo presentará en una edición limitada [...]
CNN takes a tour of literary Paris. The Line of Best Fit reports that Mogwai will soundtrack a French zombie television series. 18 year-end music lists have been added to the master aggregation today, including Paste Magazine's albums of the year, FACT's best record labels and worst cover art, plus much more. 27 lists were added yesterday [...]
After scoring a film about a garbage boat , Scottish post-rockers Mogwai turn to the fictional macabre for their next soundtrack: the French zombie television series Les Revenants. Based off the 2004 film off the same name (which featured a soundtrack by Sonic Youth), the series focuses on the return of some 70 million residents, who, as opposed to being your standard flesh-eating geeks , are trying to re-integrate into society. The band has submitted at least six original songs - including "Hungry Face" and "Special N" - of classical-inspired string music that generates a distinct air of serenity [...]

For the uninitiated, Record Store Day 's normally celebrated every Spring. It's a day where music lovers will purposefully trek to their favorite record shops - preferably the independent "mom & pop" spots - and partake in consuming the very music they obsess over. It's become a "thing" over the years, with special edition albums in all shapes and sizes commemorating this day; some of the larger shops even have bands drop by for performances. One RSD a year just hasn't been enough, as for the second year in a row, they've added Black Friday to their [...]
We're generally skeptical about the consumerist crapfest that is Black Friday — spend Thursday giving thanks for everything you do have, and wake up early the day after to throw elbows like crazy at your fellow shoppers to spend a shitload of cash on everything you don't have — but if there's one thing we do like buying, it's music. Happily, Black Friday does tend to bring a decent amount of music-related specials, mostly via the folks at Record Store Day . As such, we've dutifully thumbed through this year's list of special releases to sort the proverbial wheat [...]
Hace apenas unas semanas les había puesto por aquí el remix que le hizo The Soft Moon a uno de los cortes del mas reciente álbum de larga duración de Mogwai de nombre "Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will, el cual ahora ha pasado por su respectivo tratamiento especial en materia de remixes, dentro de este nuevo material que la banda acaba de poner a la venta el día de hoy titulado "A Wrenched Virile Lore", en donde además de topar aquel remix de The Soft Moon , también podrán escuchar los trabajos de [...]
Hace poco más de un mes os dábamos todos los detalles sobre el nuevo lanzamiento de Mogwai : Un álbum cargado de remezclas que está a punto de ver la luz, y que mostrará la interpretación de diferentes artistas de los temas originales del último álbum de estudio. Los escoceses lanzaron Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will el año pasado, un LP bien recogido por la crítica que llegó a conseguir buenas posiciones en algunas de las mejores listas musicales del mundo, como la británica, donde [...]
Tweet A companion piece to the brilliant Mogwai album, Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will, is set to hit the virtual shelves and a few lucky real ones in real-life record stores on November 23, as part of the Record Store Day celebrations. A Wrenched Virile Lore is what it is poetically called, and it will be a coloured (red and grey) two vinyl affair with tracks remixed by many, including Soft Moon, Xanda Harris and Zombi. Only 2500 copies will be [...]
It's Friday, which means that our head hurts after going to the listening session for the amazing new Scott Walker album at the McKittrick Hotel last night — and also that it's time for another installment of our regular roundup of downloadable MP3 goodness from around the web. This week we are talking very seriously to you about the Lost Animal album, which you need to get hold of ASAP when it's released in January, and also sharing new tracks by Widowspeak and The Faint, excellent remixes of tracks by Clinic and Mogwai, an entire new Spaceape EP, and plenty [...]
