The Hawk Is Howling
Mogwai
Released September 23 2008
OLE-832
Format: dbl LP/CD/DA
2008’s The Hawk Is Howling contains all the extremity and dynamics you know and love, but with a more curious array of rhythms and melodies, hinting a bit more than previous records at both their electronic and metal influences. Additionally, with only two songs under the five-minute mark, this is maybe Mogwai’s most “cinematic”-sounding record (which is saying something).
