MOGWAI SHARE NEW SINGLE "PARTY IN THE DARK"

MOGWAI SHARE NEW SINGLE "PARTY IN THE DARK"

TO BE RELEASED ON 7" SINGLE AUGUST 25th, INCLUDING NEW B-SIDE "ETERNAL PANTHER"
 
NEW ALBUM EVERY COUNTRY'S SUN OUT SEPTEMBER 1st ON TEMPORARY RESIDENCE LTD.
  


Mogwai have shared new track "Party In The Dark," from the eagerly awaited album Every Country's Sun, out September 1st via Temporary Residence Ltd. "Party In The Dark" will be available to purchase on 7" on August 25th, including the exclusive b-side track "Eternal Panther."Perhaps the most fully realized art-pop sing-along in the band's discography, "Party In The Dark" combines a post-punk blueprint with expansive space-rock and has been described by Dazed as "a New Order-nodding melodic joy". It follows the release of previous album single "Coolverine." 
 
Every Country's Sun sees the Scottish band join forces once again with producer Dave Fridmann for the first time since 2001's Rock Action. The new record takes two decades of Mogwai's signature, contrasting sounds - towering intensity, pastoral introspection, synth-rock minimalism, DNA-detonating volume - and distills it, beautifully, into 56 concise minutes of gracious elegance, hymnal trance-rock, and transcendental euphoria. 
 
The band recently performed Every Country's Sun in its entirety for the first time in a triumphant surprise show at this year's Primavera Sound in Barcelona. In a live review of the performance, The Quietus wrote: "... the material bounds with purpose and spirit, depth and intelligence, quiet triumph and (particularly toward the end) emphatic weight, promising a record of cleverly-woven instrumentalism that slays and sates in remarkable unison."
 
Mogwai recently announced a major world tour, kicking off in Oslo on October 10, taking in dates inEuropeNorth America, and the UK, wrapping up with a performance at London's O2 Academy Brixton on December 15, followed by a massive hometown show at The SSE HydroGlasgow onDecember 16. Before then, they will headline Festival No.6 in September. Visit mogwai.co.uk for full ticket information.
