ARCHIVIST #3 - MOGWAI "Yes! I am a Long Way From Home"
A Drownload dragged forth from the archives today as DiS offers up an early dose of Mogwai, a-decade-plus-late, to coincide with the deluxe reissue of the Scottish act’s debut album Young Team.
Post-rock that scowls at the self-caressing instincts of many given to similar sound, Mogwai’s ‘Yes! I am a Long Way From Home’ may drift but it sounds heavy and pluvial with purpose, dropping noise like drizzle, guitars pulled like treetops in the wind.
Let’s click swiftly out of this post-rock-crit haze – the track’s below. No doubt it’ll conjure imagery all of its own for you to gaze longingly into space too. See you out across the moors, boyo.
