mogwai

Mogwai é umas das bandas escocesas mais legais que conheço, um dos principais expoentes do post rock e cheio de influências bacanas, como Pixies, Joy Division e Kraftwerk. Fiquei procurando algo pra falar sobre eles e seu experimentalismo, mas eu achei uma frase deles mesmo que sintetiza tudo o que eu queria dizer:

“You shouldn’t be reading this. It’s completely redundant. There are no lyrics on this album (The Hawk is Howling), so all the potency, texture and variation of moods come from instruments alone. Mogwai paint pictures in sound; no words needed.”

Então não leia e escute!
