Mogwai – Batcat
The band are set to release their sixth album “The Hawk Is Howling” later this Fall. “Batcat” is the first song lifted off that record. Naturally, with any post-rock band it is hard to call any of their songs a “single.” But, if there was a band that could pull it off it would be Mogwai. Going into the record I had a lot of high expectations due to the fact that “Mr. Beast” was such a remarkable album and one of the bands finest to date. “Batcat” still follows the bands trademark sound to the bone. The song is a thick and loud and stunning piece of instrumentation. But, for some reason during the song I got the feeling like we have done this all before already. It is tough for a band like this to release a single but I have little doubts that “The Hawk Is Howling” will deliver.
