I love all things Mogwai, they are my favorite post rock band. I would start off with Young Team or Mr. Beast honestly. Young Team is what got me into Mogwai and has some of their classics. Mr. Beast is all around accessible but does a nice job of showcasing the different songwriting styles Mogwai has evolved into over the years. I usually just put their entire catalog on random and listen as well.

siig posted:GY!BE has added a new song to their set for this 2013 tour, I asked their projectionist Karl what it's called and he says it is currently titled "Behemoth." It's a long, long piece. They played it both nights in San Francisco, recordings have been uploaded at http://archive.org/details/gybe2013-09-09 and http://archive.org/details/gybe2013-09-10 They've played Behemoth in 2012 for a couple dates too. It's an awesome track, the beginning movement sort of reminds me of Earth

Those On My Left posted:I quite like this album, even if it is a bit too short. However, I am really irritated by the drum flub on Deficit (at 4:33 if you're interested). The drummer is amazing, I can't understand why they didn't just re-record that bit. Not sure if I'm hearing the same thing you are? are you talking about the drum fill because that sounds pretty intentional to me precision posted:Between "Praise Be Man" and now "Memorial", I want a whole album of slow/soft songs from them. The heavy stuff is still good but to be honest it feels a little predictable by now. I agree it would cool to hear an entire album like Ethel/Xavii however I love the dynamic between soft/reverberant and heavy like in the slow part of 309 right before the dirty bass comes in.

Man the Heart That Fed sounds so good on vinyl. The bass is just so punchy As far as complete Mogwai albums I'd have to go old school and say Mogwai Young Team is my favorite album although it does not contain my favorite Mogwai songs. There's just something about YT as a whole that does it for me

shmee posted:My frustration with Mogwai is always what goes on the album vs what is left off. Examples: You forgot one of the best b sides "Dracula Family" from Hawk is Howling https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQ0ZXDl2KGI I still stand by my thought that Mogwai are best listened to as a whole collection of songs rather than by album.

No love for You Don't Know Jesus? Also Rock Action gets better when you pair it with My Father, My King Anyone looking to (still) get into Mogwai just listen to the Special Moves live disc. If none of those songs appeal to you, just give up.

YES! Behemoth is one of the heaviest GY!BE tracks live. I cannot wait for a studio version to see what they do.

precision posted:I really dig the first track on the new Godspeed because it seems to go from deliberately unpleasant in the first 3 minutes to blissful and elegaic in such a subtle way that it took me a minute to realize the whole tone of the song was changed without changing the tempo or the overall sound... and that weirdly awkward guitar solo is brilliant but I don't know if it stands on its own. Like, I think you have to have listened to some other music to understand why they put this busted rear end and bad guitar solo right there. Unless Efrim (or whoever played it) actually does think it sounds good, well, it doesn't. Leave "playing very badly to sound good" to Sonic Youth or whatever band of 20 year olds is hot these days. Pretty sure that is a bass solo which is why it sounds so distorted and "bad". I think the two drone tracks work better if you consider the whole album as a whole movement rather than individual parts. That said, I wish they did add a bit more to the drone tracks than what they had played live but I still like the album as whole regardless.

so loving future posted:What are the better bands on the heavier side of things? I really love Russian Circles. Listening to Red Sparowes today, who are really good but not *quite* heavy enough. Is there anybody that's as good as RC but similarly or even more Seconding Pelican especially their most recent album, Forever Becoming
