From Team Rock.
Mogwai have streamed their track Eternal Panther, the B-side to current single Party In The Dark, ahead of the release of new album Every Country’s Sun. Hear it above.
The LP arrives on September 1 via Rock Action Records, and gained its title from a friend of the band who believed that every country in the world had its own sun in the sky, which is why it’s hotter and brighter in some places than in others.
Rock Action say: “Every Country’s Sun takes two decades of Mogwai’s signature, contrasting sounds – towering intensity, pastoral introspection, synth-rock minimalism, DNA-detonating volume – and distills it, beautifully, into 56 concise minutes of gracious elegance, hymnal trance-rock, and transcendental euphoria.
“It’s a structural soundscape built from stark foundations up; from a gentle, twinkling, synth-rock spectre to a solid, blown-out, skyward-thrusting obelisk.
“This is music as a keep-out chrysalis, protective audio armour through exalting organs and portentous, dissonant guitar fuzz warping at the edges, bending the world inside-out into a reality in which you’d much rather live.”
Every Country’s Sun is available for pre-order now. The band have a run of UK, European and US tour dates in the coming months (listed below).
