Scottish rockers Mogwai have announced the title, tracklist and release date of their seventh studio album; the first since their 2008 album The Hawk Is Howling. The new record is due out on Valentine’s Day (February 14th for those of you who have tried to block that day from your memory like I have) and will be quite bleakly called, Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will.
This will be the first album that the band will release on Sub Pop in North America, having announced last month that they have moved over from Matador. In the UK it will be released on their own Rock Action Records.
The tracklist for Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will is:
01. White Noise
02. Mexican Grand Prix
03. Rano Pano
04. Death Rays
05. San Pedro
06. Letters to the Metro
07. George Square Thatcher Death Party
08. How to Be a Werewolf
09. Too Raging to Cheers
10. You’re Lionel Richie
Seeing as the band doesn’t really incorporate vocals in their music I suppose that they can call their songs whatever they want, but I’m particularly looking forward to hearing “You’re Lionel Richie” for the name alone.
Mogwai have returned to Paul Savage for production, who worked with the band on their first album Young Team, so that, if you needed one, is another reason to be excited for Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will.
