Mogwai decided that vocalists are a thing of the past.
First thing to know about Mogwai is that they take the tried and tested "quiet loud quiet" formula, and make it look like theyoriginated it. It would
seem that the sudden turning on of distortion, or the heavier drums are just a cheap way to improve asong, but with Mogwai, you almost want to take

like an orchestra and their families had joined in. Eachsong sets a story for the listener to piece together from what images the flowing riffs and beats
conjure up. They don't spoil itwith a vocalist portraying their own ideas over the top, and that's what gives them the edge. « hide |
