Listening Post - Mogwai 'Earth Division EP' (Rock Action, 2011)
Orchestral diversion from formerly noise-hungry post-rockers.
New EP released on Monday 12th September. Whilst 'Get To France' is a typical Mogwai song title, the sound is rolling Soviet Rachels piano and arch cello. Edgy and a little sinister.
'Hound Of Winter' is moody acoustic balladry with icy strings and 'Drunk and Crazy' is distorted sequencers in a OneOhTrix Point Never kind of way. 'Does This Always Happen?' is more piano and strings restraint, building up layers of cinematic mood.
A welcome departure.
Tracklist:
1. Get To France
2. Hound Of Winter
3. Drunk and Crazy
4. Does This Always Happen?
