VIMTV Episode #272: Mogwai – Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will

Jake: Recommended, 77/100

Tom: Recommended, 77/100

Overview: Mogwai’s latest is easily some of their most accessible work, but it doesn’t prevent them from maintaining their experimental edge. There’s a lot more identifiable hooks and structure within that classic post-rock sound, and the production is pristine. Not incredible, but a must listen for fans of the band and/or genre.
