Mogwai: Free MP3s

10 year-old Scottish band, Mogwai, released their fifth studio album, Mr. Beast, on March 7, 2006. I feel a kinship with Scottish things, my paternal grandfather used to tell how our family is descended from the Vikings who conquered and reigned over northern parts of Scotland centuries ago and, so, I also feel a strange connection to Vikings as well. But it's the Scottish element we are concerned with here. Mogwai's music stirs up images, flashes of things I have not seen outside of film and video: open spaces, barren rocky landscapes--the greens, browns, and greys of foreign lands--images ingrained upon my DNA. Like an evocative film soundtrack it links up with your cerebral projector, syncing with your heart it runs at 72 frames per second. This moody orchestral post rock can burrow deeply into you like an engrossing book.

Band members are: Stuart Braithwaite [guitar/vocals], Dominic Aitchinson [bass], Martin Bulloch [drums], Barry Burns [guitar/keyboards/flute], and John Cummings [guitar].
