a band called Mogwai

[Itay]

I was on my musical quest, discovering new bands, when i found this great band called Mogwai...
I don't know how to describe them, it's kinda ambient-rock or something...

anyone knows them?

 

[crumbling mirth]

i sure do

their style is post-rock

i have all of their albums, and they're one of my favourite bands.

as a first purchase, i would suggest the album "young team".

 

[Jo]

You should be able to find their music on the Matador label! Very nice tunes indeed! mmmm soundscapes....

 

[crumbling mirth]

yay for mogwai!
oh! how the dogs stack up

 

[Russell]

Post rock it is indeed But not very post rockey post rock But I love all their albums. I agree with CM, young team is the best first record IMO. I think my fave ATM tho is come on die young...

 

[Hannu Mutanen]

I have "Come on die young". Really great stuff, I have to find that on CD as now it is just on tape and I really don't like tapes. I have no idea whatsoever as to what post-rock is supposed to be, but I would not care to have one either. Mogwai are really good nevertheless.

Awesome seeing a thread like this here, does not surprise me of course ( ya know since we are the coolest people in the world and all ). I just heard them for the first time a couple of weeks ago and liked it very much.
jAY

Lol!!! Mogwai are those funny, little gremlins on the gremlins movie, great band name

 

[Russ L]

Great band, but you're all talking as though they're not very famous. They're hardly obscure, are they?

 

[crumbling mirth]

i'm not talking about them as if they're obscure...

there aren't too many obscure bands out there that i own all the albums of
