Review

Moody, bombastic, brooding, loping, thunderous, austere, chaotic: heap on the adjectives as the young boys in Mogwai worm their way through a mostly instrumental set of guitar-heavy songscapes tinted with obscure samples and an occasional mumbled voice. Mogwai can transcend the distance between a loopy and delicate melody and a deafening and crashing crescendo in the space of a breath. Come On Die Young is a stunning, utterly original achievement. --Tod NelsonEmerging from Scotland's eclectic pop-rock landscape, Mogwai's Come On Die Young is an unsettling daydream of an album that hovers between the austere and chaotic. Reminiscent of albums by such forward-thinking iconoclasts as Sonic Youth and the little-known American band Slint in its slow, dry rhythms and song-to-song flow, Mogwai's is more resourceful than either band's efforts, hurling unusual samples against shifty song structures and layers of brooding guitar wash. Inventive touches replace actual vocals, such as when the jabberings of a play-by-play announcer suddenly take on the quality of dark metaphors in "Helps Both Ways" and long instrumental passages inspire a restless imagery that lyrics never could reach. Yet for all its darker qualities, Come On Die Young is more determined and serious than sinister, employing a ferocity that transcends mere menace and trading impenetrable gloom for a certain shadowy bliss. --Matthew Cooke1999 & second album from the Scottish instrumental gro up who use dynamics and melody to mesmerize the listener. 12 tracks, including 'Punk Rock/ Puff Daddy/ AntiChrist'.
