Mogwai are the 3rd Hottest People In Scotland Right Now!

Mogwai have been given the accolade of being The List's 3rd hottest group of people, who have impacted on culture in Scotland. This is what the magazine thought about the mighty 'Gwai.....

"To make one great album is a job well done. To do two, well that’s just careless. Mogwai thrust Mr Beast out into the bright unforgiving daylight in March this year, while a second long (ish) player, the soundtrack to Douglas Gordon’s movie/art piece Zidane: a 21st Century Portrait slipped out in October. The former was among the band’s very finest work, the quintet’s dark, circular guitar patterns building into more textured and varied shapes than ever, with the hellish rumble of ‘Glasgow Mega Snake’ distilling all that is heavy and thrilling about Mogwai in one three-and-a-half minute hunk. Mogwai remain a singular force in music; underrated underdogs, chewing at the heels of fakers. After finding their own groove they have hacked into it undeterred and are in no hurry to vacate it. The collaboration with Douglas Gordon may help their credentials in the grown up world of art but it is on the floor of the Barras that it really matters and they stand proudly as purveyors of some of the finest music that has emanated from these borders all year".
