Yesterday when i wrote something about the new Warpaint album, i already mentioned that the new MOGWAI had also come out, and that it's really good as well. And so it is. Their soundtrack for Les Revenants was, well... much more cinematic than what they previously did. It's definitely their most quiet work to date. But RAVE TAPES on the other hand is going back to their old bombastic and majestic sound, and expanding it with heavier use of synths than ever before. Not that i mind though; it sounds fantastic - yet never innovative. It's been done before, but that doesn't mean that this isn't a great record. I particularly like the song Repelish, which contains spoken word samples of someone warning for backmasking in Led Zeppelin's Stairway To Heaven. All in all, their 8th studio album is a really good one and a worthy follow-up to Hardcore Will Never Die, and i'll still be buying any new Mogwai album that comes out if they keep this high standard.
