Mogwai announce new LP 'Every Country's Sun' and share first single

Mogwai have announced details of their new, Dave Fridmann-produced album, which is titled Every Country’s Sun and comes out September 1 via Temporary Residence Ltd. “What’s going on in the world politically and socially has to affect you,” says the group’s Stuart Braithwaite. “It was very much on our minds, especially in America. We were vaguely getting over the Scottish referendum, then the death of David Bowie, along comes Brexit, and then Trump. The album was written in a very turbulent, intense period so I think it maybe feels like some kind of shield from that? That’s maybe just my take. Because it literally was for me.” You can listen to the album’s first single (and opening track), “Coolverine,” below.

The band’s fall tour hits NYC on December 8 at Terminal 5. Tickets are still available. All dates are listed, along with album art and tracklist, below.
