In case you weren’t aware, Mogwai are way more hardcore than you could ever hope to be. They’ve decided to underscore this fact on their new album, which is titled Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will, and will probably be just as cheery as the title leads you to believe it might be. The album is due February 14, 2011 on Rock Action Records in the UK and February 15 via Sub Pop in the US.
Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will tracklisting:
01. White Noise
02. Mexican Grand Prix
03. Rano Pano
04. Death Rays
05. San Pedro

And if you’re still hungry for more Mogwai after 10 new pulverizing tracks, there is an option for you, the post-rock glutton: a bonus CD will be included in a limited-edition version of Hardcore that holds within it “The Singing Mountain,” a 26-minute composition originally recorded to accompany an art installation. Naturally, the installation was called “Monument for Forgotten Future.”
