Mogwai

The Scottish five piece Mogwai formed in 1995 and debuted a year later with the single 'Tuner/Lower,' released on their own Rock Action label.

Usually tagged a post-rock band because of their slow-build, instrumental workouts and the neo-classical majesty of their more ambitious songs, Mogwai are rather a bunch of a-rockers, drawn to whatever serves their cause - be it the stripped-down delicacy of Erik Satie or the boiling rage of Big Black.

I first heard Mogwai in South Carolina

I was on a job assignment and had some time to check out the local record store. This was a few years back, when there still were local record stores. I picked up Mogwai: Happy Songs for Happy People. It instantly became one of my favorite CDs.
