Mogwai talk about music, their love of vinyl and their relationship with KEF and Loud & Clear.

Stuart, Dominic and Martin from Mogwai - long standing friends of Loud & Clear - talk about music, their love of vinyl, the origins of Mogwai and their relationship with KEF and Loud & Clear.
This was recorded c 2018 so our demo room has changed significantly since then! Also, spot the KEF bookshelves and Linn Pro Monitors in the studio background 😊
Named after the furry critters in 1984 comedy-horror flick Gremlins, Mogwai have been dubbed by critics as “post rock” - a subgenre in contemporary music that employs guitars, drums and other instruments normally associated with rock to create textured, multi-dimensional soundscapes, frequently without vocals. Though much post rock can be found at the less accessible end of the pop spectrum, Mogwai’s guitar-based instrumentals, frequently overlaid with distortion and effects, have attracted fans from China to Chile.

Can I ask, what’s the studio speakers with the 3k array?

​@@LoudClearGlasgowPity those linn monitors are rare as hens teeth, pretty sure they're more accurate than most studio monitors. Hi to George and Babara, you guys were good fun when you repped for Linn. I used to work at Manchester Superfi, which was in the same shop as Cleartone back in 1988 when I first started selling Linn, Neil Gaydon was the Linn rep then, and (clever) Trevor Liddle hosted my LP12 training at Linn HQ.
I love your shop very relaxed looking.
