The band Mogwai has recently come across two (or three) unfortunate circumstances in a rather short period of time. First to leak was their new Batcat EP, then their upcoming LP The Hawk Is Howling. However, this latest leak is their very own unedited Pitchfork review for the LP. It is a fairly typical Pitchfork review, but if anything it is even harsher than normal. Some speculate that it’s a hoax put out by Mogwai because none of the writers in the review are on the Pitchfork staff list.

The review can be seen at http://www.mogwai.co.uk/

The Hawk Is Howling is out September 22nd on Wall of Sound (UK), Play It Again Sam (Europe), and Matador (US).
