"Rave Tapes"

Rave Tapes is the eighth studio album by Mogwai and their second for Sub Pop. Since their formation in 1995, the Scottish quintet has established itself internationally through a prolific recorded output and a commitment to touring that few of their peers can match. With Rave Tapes, Mogwai’s mastery of sound and space is firmly at it’s apex. The album is a lustrous collection mined from the same quarry as it’s predecessors, wreathed in painterly textures underpinned by increasingly electronic beats. The release of Rave Tapes will signal the beginning of a frantic year of live activity, including the groups maiden foray into Africa.
