Mogwai have released another jumper, but not quite like we know it.
80
Mogwai are eager to showcase their new ideas within the first few tracks of this release, eager to prove they are still a band with plenty of fresh concepts.

The band has regained none of its prior fierceness, but Hardcore is, importantly, the band's least self-conscious album in ages.

They’re not workman-like here, but there is something professional, maybe refined, about their sound now.
By sticking to a more straightforward songwriting style instead of the constantly changing volumes that'd become a cliche in post-rock, Mogwai have set yet another bar for themselves on "Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will". It's not revolutionary, but I've never thought of Mogwai as that in the first place, admittedly.
