So far, we've seen two videos from Mogwai's 7th album Hardcore Will Never Die But You Will. An edit of "How To Be A Werewolf" accompanied a short film about world record cyclist James Bowthorpe, and "Mexican Grand Prix" catalogued the many faces of native Glaswegians.

"Mexican Grand Prix" features some Stereolab style keyboards and Mogwai's trademark "vocals":

Happy New Year!
