Mogwai – As The Love Continues on Transparent Lavender Vinyl LP

Mogwai – As The Love Continues color vinyl – To be released Feb 19, 2021. Click here for preordering. Limited edition of 1000. Check Mogwai store site for other options.

As The Love Continues was originally planned to be recorded in America, but the pandemic led to a relocation to Worcestershire, with producer Dave Fridmann separated by an ocean but appearing like an Orwellian oppressor over the sessions. This pandemic necessity was quickly routine, and it also bought them a little more time. The album features contributions from Atticus Ross (“Midnight Flit”) and Colin Stetson (“Pat Stains”), and will arrive almost exactly 25 years after the release of the Mogwai’s debut single, “Tuner”/”Lower”. – From Rock Action’s site
