{"product_id":"mogwai-mogwai-young-team-2lp-red","title":"Mogwai - Mogwai Young Team [2LP Red]","description":"\u003cp\u003eMogwai Young Team is the sound of a young Scottish band discovering exactly how loud quiet can get. This reissue spreads the 1997 debut across two red vinyl discs in a gatefold jacket, with a digital download card tucked inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRecorded in the summer of 1997 at MCM Studios in Hamilton and produced by Paul Savage and Andy Miller, the album arrived on Chemikal Underground and promptly rewrote the rules for what a guitar band could do without a singer. Post-rock had a name before this record, but Mogwai gave it a pulse, a sense of humour and a volume knob stuck somewhere past sensible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe dynamics are the whole drama. Like Herod stretches over eleven minutes, drifting along in near silence before detonating without warning. Tracy floats on chiming melody and a recorded phone call, while R U Still in 2 It is the rare vocal moment, a hushed confessional sung by Aidan Moffat of Arab Strap. Then comes Mogwai Fear Satan, sixteen minutes of flute, feedback and slow-building catharsis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpoken fragments and sudden walls of distortion give the whole thing the feel of a late night that got gloriously out of hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNearly three decades on, few debuts in the genre carry this much nerve. On red wax it looks as bruised and brilliant as it sounds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57453141950769,"sku":"5063176128911","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Mogwai-Mogwai_Young_Team_2LP_Red.jpg?v=1794228549","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/mogwai-mogwai-young-team-2lp-red","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
