The Bad Fire

Pre-Order Item. Release Date Subject to Change.
Label: Rock Action
Release Date: 24th January

Scotland's finest post rock follow-up their first number one album with a mighty batch of big instrumentals. From the early singles, this is sounding like it could be one of my favourite Mogwai records yet.

Mogwai’s “The Bad Fire” was recorded at Chem19 studios in Scotland with American Grammy Award winning producer John Congleton (St Vincent, Angel Olsen, John Grant) joining the band in the studio for their eleventh album. A Scottish colloquialism for Hell, The Bad Fire draws inspiration from a series of tough personal moments that the band found themselves in following on from their chart-topping tenth album, As The Love Continues.  All vinyl comes packaged in a gatefold sleeve, with MP3 download code and etching.  The photo booklet in the box sets includes a series of photographs taken by producer and Chem19 studio owner Paul Savage (Belle & Sebastian, Mogwai, Arab Strap ) during the band's recording sessions.
