MOGWAI (Rock/Post Rock - SCO)
Since their well received album "Young Team" in 1997, Mogwai has not stopped pushing back musical boundaries. Through their epic tracks, both noisy and soft, joyful and obscure, this Scottish group pass from melodious arpeggios to walls of sound made up of concentrated noise. Even if the group does not like this description, Mogwai are, however, one of today's most influential groups with the most exposure on the post-rock scene alongside Explosions In The Sky, Goodspeed You! Black Emperor, Sigur Ros and Slint. They are also acknowledged by "oldies" like The Cure and The Pixies who consider Mogwai as the best group of their generation and invite the quintet to accompany them on tour. Their latest album "The Hawk is Hawling", was released last year and secures the group a comfortable seat as one of today's major groups.
