Anyone into these guys? Im slowly getting into them after seeing them on tv and hearing they play with Sigur Ros. I don't know a single thing about them but some of their music sounds excellent. Sigur Ros-ish

Mogwai is awesome, check out the albums Rock Action and Young Team. Also check out the EP entitled My Father My King.

If you dont know them, also listen to Godspeed You Black Emperor! A Silver Mt.Zion, Set Fire To Flames, Mercury Rev, Do Make Say Think.

beware: mercury rev has some real wack shit, like their newest album. deserts songs is great tho.
and to clarify, none of those bands taoist just mentioned sound anything like mogwai except godspeed (kinda mogwai with strings). however they're all bands you're likely to enjoy if you like mogwai. i'd also add tortoise, slint (old band), arab strap, my bloody valentine, and hood to that list.

you dont like all is dream titsworth? The upbeat songs are kind of naff, but I actually prefer it to deserters songs on the whole.

i wouldn't say that godspeed you balck emperor! is "mogwai with strings"... it's so much darker and deeper... anyway, mogwai is awesome too.
anyone heard the new do make say think album "&yet &yet"? i heard this one song "chinatown" and fell in love with it.

One track of theirs I really like on C.O.D.Y. "Old songs stay til the end..." that one.. Mogwai & the Beta Band are the only semi/non electronic bands I have bothered listening to in the last couple of years

mogwai are immense: aside from rock action, i recommend 'ten rapid' which is a collection of early singles and stuff - that's my fave at the moment. also ep+6 which is a collection of eps - many of those tracks are ace.
im going to have to agree with taoist blockade on the 'my father my king' suggestion - that song is INTENSE.
godspeed are equally good, if not deeper - i'd reckon a good starting point would be the 'lift yr skinny fists like antennas to heaven' double album, or the 'slow riot for new zero kanada' ep (which is like a mini album). anyone seen those guys live? i saw them playing bradford not long ago, and they were fantastiko

I have the new do make say think, I think &Yet &yet is their best album yet, the drums and bass on the second track are unbelievable.

yea i've seen godspeed live, favorite concert of my life
and obviously i don't really think they're "mogwai with strings", but it's a decent one sentence analogy for someone who knows mogwai but not gybe!

i bought do make say thinks "&yet&yet" when i saw them live at colchester - i think they were great - the only annoying thing was some fat twat with a bad bad haircut dancing to it like a retard . godspeed were very intense - i would personally love to catch arab strap live . do make say think imo are the most accesable of the groups mentioned with the exception of sigur ros who are stunning - anybody got a decent quality mp3 of the "duet" song that sigur opened up at ATP with? that song is better than anything i have heard of theirs before . what are set fire to flames reminiscent of?

i have the set fire to flames cd, it's really inacessible imo, but it's interesting at points, at least in concept..and the last song is utterly depressingly beautiful

Has anyone heard Mogwai's cover of Don't Cry by Guns N Roses. It's brilliant and shows that Axl Rose is actually a good songwriter.
