Mogwai

Mogwai are a Scottish post-rock band, formed in 1995 in Glasgow. The band consists of Stuart Braithwaite (guitar, vocals), Barry Burns (guitar, piano, synthesizer, vocals), Dominic Aitchison (bass guitar), and Martin Bulloch (drums). Mogwai typically compose lengthy guitar-based instrumental pieces that feature dynamic contrast, melodic bass guitar lines, and heavy use of distortion and effects. Quotes about Mogwai The Scottish post rockers from Mogwai are today perhaps best known as masters of one of the movement's distinctive trends - abrupt successions of calm, meditative parts with roaring, all-out outbursts of sound. Vlad Nichols of Ultimate-Guitar (Oct 31, 2019) Mogwai's tracks are often built around huge guitar riffs and building arpeggios, but they also implement keys, vocals and other instruments. Mogwai helped establish some of the hallmarks of post-rock music, including striking dynamics, recurring phrases, and swelling tremolo picking. When combined with gain, delay, and reverb, rapid picking of single notes and slides up and down the fretboard can create epic glissando.
