Mogwai

Travels In Constants Vol 12

Label: Temporary Residence

11
mpimm by Matthew Pimm March 24th, 2001

This is Mogwai's instalment to the Travels In Constants singles club on Temporary Residence released last year. However they managed to get their hands on a limited number of copies for people who were not lucky enough to get it first time round.

Track 1, simply called Untitled starts with drifting guitars building up to a driving atmosphere laden with haunting vocals before gently placing you on the ground with the words of a monologue bringing you to your senses. The next track Quiet Stereo Dee builds you up gradually leaving you expectant for a dramatic end but instead drifts off into space. This brings us to the final track Arundel is a Papa M cover and is a gentle piano instrumental, a relaxing end to a great single.

This is one of Mogwai's best singles since No Education = No Future and it's a shame that it is limited. There are however samples of the song on Mogwai's web site so you can hear what you are missing.
