Scottish post-rock quartet Mogwai have shared a video for their brand new single, the mesmeric six-minute long God Gets You Back. It's the band's first new music since they hit the Number One spot on the UK album charts with their most recent album, 2021's Love Conquers All.
Sharing a sonic similarity with the band's work on celebrated soundtracks for Zidane: a 21st Century Portrait, ZeroZeroZero and Les Revenants, God Gets You Back also features vocals penned by multi-instrumentalist Barry Burns young daughter. "[It] needed some melody or vocals, but I couldn't come up with the lyrics so I asked my 7-year-old daughter to make some up, and she did and I sang them," Burns says.
At the same time Mogwai have announced an extensive world tour for February, March, April and May, which kicks off at Amsterdam's Paradiso on February 4 an concludes in Dallas, Texas on May 4, and includes UK dates in London, Leeds and Edinburgh in February
"We are immensely excited about heading out on our first worldwide tour since the pandemic," exclaims guitarist Stuart Braithwaite. "We’re going to some brilliant places and can’t wait to perform our new songs."
Tickets for the tour go on sale via a presale at 10 AM BST on September 18, with a venue presale at 10 AM on September 19 and general sale available at 10 AM on September 20.
