34 tracks of largely instrumental music might seem like a bit of a mammoth listen, but Glasgow four-piece Mogwai are no ordinary band. Celebrating 20 years in music, this compilation spans their career of making atmospheric, emotive, and pulsating post rock, and in doing so shows how they’ve endured for so long. Ranging from delicate guitar work to full-on eardrum-bursting noise, the band have developed their sound as they’ve grown – incorporating more synths and robotic rhythms in their latter work before coming full circle for their recent, almost ambient work such as their soundtracks to Zidane and C4’s Les Revenants. Long may they continue to ruin our hearing.
