Mogwai is finally coming out with a new album for the first time in a few years.  They also haven’t toured in a very long time and are currently about to embark on a US-wide tour.  The Hawk Is Howling seems to be another step forward for them as we have heard a few tracks from the recent Batcat EP.  The song itself “Batcat” had a lot more of a grungy feel to it, but the song from the forthcoming album that has been released shows a lot less darkness and more of a song that you can actually bob your head to.  See for yourself.

Out of all the bands I have found out about through random myspace profile hopping, I think that This Will Destroy You is the one I’m most happy I found. They have an incredibly goofy name, but in the midst of this giant post-rock craze, they really stand out to me. What they are able to do is find some really great melodies and allow them to progress so well. Sure, to a lot of you they may just sound like another Explosions In The Sky copycat, but give ‘em a chance. They stand out on their own in my mind.

p.s. - I’ve watched a view YouTube videos and I would LOVE to see these guys play live.
