Mogwai – Batcat

• 12th Aug 2008

Glasgow’s favourite atmospheric indie/rock tilters, Mogwai grab this opportunity to thrust in your face the fact that they remain stoic to their churning, mood tossing roots. ‘Batcat’ slots rotating percussion drills around echoing, fuzzy guitars and rolling bass-lines.

It shows a low-key relentlessness in its pursuit to keep their ragged rhythmic wheel trundling. Mogwai hasn’t changed one bit and, would you really want them to?? We need to be shown that there are more uses for the term “fuzzy”, than for Shaggy from Scooby Doo’s facial appearance!
