Mogwai — I Chose Horses

Post-rock band from Glasgow, formed 1995: Stuart Braithwaite, Barry Burns, Dominic Aitchison, Martin Bulloch. Nearly thirty years in and still operating entirely on their own terms. Known for dynamic range — long quiet passages building into walls of distorted guitar; instrumental almost exclusively; never had or sought a hit single. As the Love Continues (2021) went to number one on the UK album chart, their first ever No.1 after twenty-six years; nominated for the Mercury Prize and won the Scottish Album of the Year Award. Recorded remotely during lockdown, band members sending files back and forth across Scotland. Opens the show with the long, slow build the night requires.
