Daily Jam - Summer (Priority Version)

I vividly remember hearing Scottish band Mogwai for the first time when i was freshman in college, listening to the band's "Young Team" album in my dorm room.  I was blown away.  It was pretty much my first foray into the whole post rock thing.  From the album, here's "Summer (Priority Version)," our Daily Jam.

Mogwai

Good news everyone!  Scottish post rock mainstays Mogwai dropped a new song yesterday.  Listen to "God Gets You Back" below and download it here from Temporary Residence.

Daily Jam - Punk Rock

Listen to Iggy Pop tell it like it is.  Mogwai does.  Check out "Punk Rock" below, our Daily Jam.

Mogwai with Colin Stetson

Pairing the long running Scottish post rock group Mogwai with saxophonist extraordinaire Colin Stetson feels like such an obvious no-brainer that i'm amazed it's only just now happening on this week's "As the Love Continues" LP.  Listen to the sweeping and majestic "Pat Stains" below and order the record here via Temporary Residence.

Daily Jam - Hunted by a Freak

We're supposed to pick up a bearded dragon for the 7-year old today.  Hopefully it doesn't turn into some kind of Mogwai/Gremlin situation.  Speaking of Mogwai, here's "Hunted by a Freak," our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam - Cody

Scottish post rock band Mogwai don't use vocals in their songs very often, but when they do the result is often stunning.  Listen to "Cody" below, our Daily Jam.

Penelope Trappes Reworked by Mogwai

Last year, UK artist Penelope Trappes released the excellent "Penelope Two" LP, and now the whole thing is getting remixed/reworked/reinterpreted by a slew of different artists.  Check out Mogwai's oozing revision of "Burn On" below and pre-order the upcoming "Penelope Redeux" here from Houndstooth.

Minor Victories

June sees the debut of another supergroup of sorts, Minor Victories, featuring members of Editors, Stuart Braithwaite of Mogwai, and Rachel Goswell of Slowdive/Mojave 3 fame.  Check out the synthy, dreamy, though kind of foreboding video for first single "A Hundred Ropes" below and be sure to grab the self-titled record from Fat Possum this summer.
