Post-rock greats Mogwai have returned with a new single and plans for a big 2025 tour, including North American shows this spring. All dates are below.
Produced by John Congleton, “God Gets You Back” opens like a typical Mogwai song, all slow-build atmosphere, but then turns into soaring dreampop/rock territory with rich harmonies. It’s also got a surprising collaborator. Barry Burns says he thought it “needed some melody or vocals, but I couldn’t come up with the lyrics so I asked my 7-year-old daughter to make some up, and she did and I sang them.” Watch the video by Hand Held Cine Club (Justin and James Lockey) below.
No word on a new album, which would be their first since 2021’s As The Love Continues.
Mogwai’s spring tour hits NYC at Brooklyn Steel on April 10. Tickets for all dates go on sale Friday, September 20 at 10 AM. The band have partnered with War Child for the tour, with a £1/€1/$1 charitable contribution made from every ticket sold.
