Mogwai The Hawk Is Howling on 180g Vinyl LP + MP3 Coupon! 

Mogwai's sixth album continues to showcase the fiercely layered guitars and dynamics of their classic work, and features a new array of rhythms and melodies which hint more than ever at their electronic and metal influences. With only two songs under the five-minute mark, this may be their most cinematic-sounding record to date. The Scottish quintet has laid much of the groundwork for the massive, atmospheric bands who have shot to fame over the past decade including: Explosions In The Sky, Mono, Pelican, Isis and others. Not only do Mogwai remain masters of the eloquently stretched guitar phrase, they have also expanded the syntax to include a new, almost beat-driven sound. “The Sun Smells Too Loud,” the first single, recalls Yo La Tengo in their sunnier moments, with a touch of early Boards of Canada. HQ180 vinyl in gatefold sleeve with MP3 coupon.
