A few weeks ago, Mogwai announced the release of their new album for the end of January. Two songs were released in advance, which I listened to several times and which left me with an ambivalent feeling.
On God Gets You Back they need almost three minutes to find their sound. Until then, flutes, cymbals and an ethereal voice pave the way for a dominant bass and guitars. Not a bad song, but overambitious and not of the class I'm used to from Mogwai.
Lion Rumpus makes up for this, who clearly reproduces what I love about Mogwai: a wall of guitars, feedback and a forward-driving drum kit.
I'll probably have to listen to the whole album before I can make a final judgement. But again, the question is, which version? The double or triple LP or the CD or perhaps the cassette? Today's marketing strategy leaves the fan in despair.
