Free Mogwai

Track from new album available for limited time

Those lovely lads in Mogwai have decided to give away new track ‘The Sun Smells Too Loud’ for nothing. The song is a choice cut from their forthcoming album The Hawk Is Howling. The album will be preceded by the release of the Batcat EP. The recordings have already attracted considerable interest not least because of some choice song titles, notably ‘I’m Jim Morrison, I’m Dead’ and ‘Stupid Prick Gets Chased By The Police And Loses His Slut Girlfriend’.

Check the forthcoming AU48 for an exclusive interview with Mogwai founding member Stuart Braithwaite in which he discusses the new recordings, those song titles and the band’s varied experiences of playing Belfast.

‘The Sun Smells Too Loud’ can be downloaded from Mogwai’s MySpace for a limited period.

Batcat EP released September 9 through Matador
The Hawk Is Howling released September 23 through Matador
