what does that even mean?
no idea
but it made me laugh.
seriously though, someone should do s-club mogwai. 3 boys, 4 girls, quiet / loud postrock, dancemoves. makes total sense.
I'm free
every second Tuesday.
you're
on.
they don't sound anything like mogwai
at all
riiiiiiiiiiiight...
okay then. I think you may have confused mogwai with tower of power there.
no
i haven't, i just can't see any similarities ... other than they're both scottish bands? they just don't sound similar - mogwai rarely use vocals and the way the twilight sad's guitarist plays is completely different to any one in mogwai; it's hard to work out what he's doing a lot of the time whereas with mogwai you can here lots of little melodies that sort sort of interlock. i know mogwai occasionally 'freak out' too but other than that they're just different.
Everyone just compares every remotely proggy or post-anything band to Mogwai
it's annoying.
its just the scottish thing, and te fact that
twilight sad are fuckin ace. thems the similarities. factoid.
heh
yeah, they are immensely scottish... which just makes them all the better.
it's like if you put the proclaimers and swervedriver in a blender.
proclaimdriver.
in the broadest fashion
speaking, they do. As a mogwai taker-or-leaver perhaps I'm just spotting general similarities. tts are great but sometimes their instrumental sections seem a little tacked on from a box of big towering guitar bits. That was possibly stolen from under mogwai's collective bed. And I'm sorry to have brought up tower of power. No-one needs that.
I don't know about
this mogwai similarity but i have to say i have the twilight sad album and saw them last week in Glasgow barfly but i have to say they could be getting a bit over hyped. I think there not to bad, a good album but for me not the saviors of Scottish music as some folk seem to be writing over the pond.
...
This album is one of my favourites of the year. That first track is goosebumptastic.
But Mogwai?
No
They're
My Bloody Valentine fronted by Grounds Keeper Willy.
that's the best
comparison I've heard yet!
Yep
Beats Snow Patrol with more feedback.
^^
thats more accurate tho
...
Ah come on, I can't believe people are saying there's no similarity with Mogwai. There really is. The post-rock bluster is there clear as day. MBV is another influence but I don't think they're copyists at all. Just reasonably transparent influences. It's not a problem. Having said that I wasn't taken with the album. I found it overbearingly earnest and staid.
yes
you are correct, theodore uno.
