mogwai - Mr. Beast
Christmas Day in the Mogwai commune; "oooh, what's this? It's ever so big, can I unwrap it? Oh! A piano, just what I've always wanted..." And so it began. Having released five studio albums in their eleven year career, 'Mr Beast' (produced by Tony Doogan) sees the the 'Gwai getting back to their tinnitus roots after the slow-burn atmospherics of 'Rock Action', with intricate and bewitching melodies (usually on a piano courtesy of the wonderful Craig Armstrong) dismantled from within by axe-wielding riffs and cathartic bluster. Opening with 'Auto Rock', Stuart Braithwaite et al announce their intent with a piano melody so pretty it should have a pink bow in its hair; a vision they incrementally enhance through spiralling guitars, apocalyptic drums and a core of noise that converts the melancholic into a chorus of unabandonded joy. The closest they've ever come to translating their incendiary live shows onto a box-ready slab of plastic, songs like 'Glasgow Mega-Snake' and 'We're No Hear' are unapologetic furnaces of sound, wherein multiple riff pile-ups converge in an apex of orgiastic rightness. Elsewhere, 'I Chose Horses' drafts in Tetsuya Fukagawa (of Japanese hardcore band Envy) to lexicalise the sense of wonder played out beneath through glazed strings, 'Travel Is Dangerous' resembles a cross between 'Take Me Somewhere Nice' ('Rock Action') and 'Christmas Steps', whilst 'Acid Food' borrows some Xylophone from Thom Yorke and peps it up with electronic Rice Krispies. Beastly Boys.
