In the biography that comes with ‘As the Love Continues’ comedian Robin Ince writes, “Mogwai are a band of no significant meaning.” And, while that may seem like a jab, it’s hard to argue with him.
As much as the post-rock quartet’s name may suggest a love for Gremlins, it only stuck because they “meant to change it, but never got around to it.” Their in-joke album titles have ranged from ‘Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will’ to ‘The Hawk Is Howling’. Plus, their luminescent compositions largely have no lyrics to convey any messaging.
