Scot post-rock icons Mogwai will release their 7th(!) full length album Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will
on February 15th. Sounds like a lovely Valentine's Day gift.
As albums these days are wont to do, it has leaked ahead of its release date. While not as epic as Come On Die Young
or Rock Action
, Mogwai's latest effort is more engaging and dynamic than 2008's The Hawk Is Howling

Happy New Year!
