Mogwai (/ˈmɒɡwaɪ/) are a Scottish post-rock band, formed in 1995 in Glasgow. The band typically compose lengthy guitar-based instrumental pieces that feature dynamic contrast, melodic bass guitar lines, and heavy use of distortion and effects.
Even though I really like Mogwai, I have come to the firm conclusion that they will never be as good as Godspeed. 5. 1. 4mo. MasterCrackfox. 70. A decent post-rock instrumental album, just nothing too game changing on my end.
Mogwai Young Team (also known as Young Team) is the debut studio album by Scottish post-rock band Mogwai. Produced by Paul Savage and Andy Miller, the album was released on 27 October 1997 through Chemikal Underground record label. Mogwai Young Team was recorded in Summer 1997 at MCM Studios (now known as Gargleblast Studios) in Hamilton, Scotland, and was produced by Paul Savage and Andy Miller. It is largely instrumental, with one notable exception ("R U Still in 2 It", which features vocals from Aidan Moffat of Arab Strap), although many songs feature recordings of various individuals speaking, whether over the phone ("Tracy"), reading ("Yes!
Whether "Young Team" is Mogwai's best or worst album is irrelevant. It's an excellent album and deserves just about all of the praise it receives. Instrumentation is excellent, guitars and drums especially and the piano is nice. Mogwai make everything they do on "Young Team" excellent. Some of the songs rock. Some are just slow beautiful songs. Some of them are breathtaking epics. The whole album, however is excellent. A good range of material - Mastery of everything they attempt - Some really incredible and beautiful songs.
Young Team came out originally in 1997, well after Sonic Youth, Yo La Tengo, and Slint had laid the groundwork for a sub-genre eventually tagged post rock, which came to be defined by Scotland’s Mogwai and a few other bands in the ‘90s. Fans were awed by Mogwai’s ability to build their music with seemingly simple yin/yang manipulations, balancing weight and weightlessness, delicacy and brutality, spatial silences and layers of dense noise with uncanny precision. The live versions of the album’s pillar tracks, Like Herod and Mogwai Fear Satan, are satisfying even in their relative brevity. Purists, worry not: the remastering has only lightened the occasional murk, and improved the work overall.
Released in 1997, Young Team is considered by many to be Mogwai’s best work.
