Mogwai New Album Released Today
aaamusic | On 14, Feb 2011
Mogwai are set to push the boundaries of where art meets rock even further into the abyss with the announcement that their new album, ‘Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will’ which is released today on the band’s very own Rock Action Records.
‘Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will’, the band’s seventh album, was recorded over the summer at Chem 19 Studios, in Hamilton and mixed at The Castle Of Doom. ‘Hardcore’ is produced by Mogwai confidante Paul Savage (the man behind Mogwai’s exceptional 1997 ‘Mogwai Young Team’ album) and is the logical follow up to the band’s 2008’s magnum opus ‘The Hawk Is Howling’ and showcases Mogwai’s relentless devotion to duty and refusal to compromise sonically with it’s sheer brutally and distinctive subtle beauty.
The album will be released on February 15 2011 in the US where Mogwai have recently signed to the illustrious Sub Pop label for North America.
