The new Mogwai full-length is an absolute treat, with more percolating keyboard sounds but still plenty of guitar dynamics, and a not-unpleasant vibe of unease throughout. It's a step sideways from their 2021 Dave Fridmann-produced, Mercury Prize-nominated predecessor, As the Love Continues, which brought the experimental quartet unexpected commercial success.
The record's title, The Bad Fire, is the first clue that we're in different territory with the band in their thirtieth year. "Bad fire" is Glaswegian everyman slang for hell, and the label's promotional materials plainly—if euphemistically—state that the name reflects "the difficult time that members of the band were going through."
Whatever's up now with these pioneers of moody post-rock, they clearly channeled that inner turmoil into some serious outer bliss working with producer John Congleton—no stranger to majestic neo-prog acts with a resume that includes albums by Explosions In The Sky and Sigur Rós. This is far more than a therapeutic exercise, it is monumental trauma response rock.
It's perhaps lazy with instrumental bands to compare their work to a soundtrack, but simply listening to The Bad Fire turns your life into an exciting film. And yes, it sounds like the end of the world as we know it, or an acceptance that we live in a time of overwhelming and all-consuming transformation.
Opener "God Gets You Back" works John Carpenter-esque refrains into a noise-accentuated synth crescendo, while the subsequent three tracks cover familiar territory as punishing guitar riffs layer upon each other only to drift away like the tide. The best of these tunes, "Fanzine Made of Flesh," even submerges a catchy vocal chorus into the mix. ("18 Volcanoes" later on also has singing.) And tracks like "Pale Vegan Hip Pain" are flat-out pretty. As the record progresses, the sounds get sunnier; "Hammer Room" has the upbeat feel of an early Grandaddy track. The album ends with more melodic noise, as the heady, fast-paced, guitar-shredding roar of "Lion Rumpus" fades into the stars-twinkling-at-night notes of "Fact Boy." The Bad Fire is powerful, moody, often gorgeous, and needs to be listened to loud as hell.Трэклист:01. God Gets You Back
