Mogwai - October 2017

Over the past 21 years, Scottish post-rock band Mogwai has become one of the key figures of the alternative British music scene. From the very start, Stuart Braithwaite, Dominic Aitchison, Martin Bulloch, John Cummings and later also Barry Burns have always looked to the future. Their new album "Every Country's Sun" is out now, and they're playing at Kaserne Basel on October 26th, 2017. We talked to Stuart Braithwaite about the influence of visual arts, naming instrumental tracks, and the fact that bleak-sounding music is actually quite uplifting.
