Hardcore Will Never Die But You Will

Description

Product Info

By the 2010s, post-rock had been around long enough that the styles artists could look back to their roots. Mogwai does that on Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will, from the titles bone-dry humor to the bands reunion with Young Team producer Paul Savage. The musical DNA of Young Team — and its definitive track Like Herod in particular — is everywhere on Hardcore Will Never Die, informing the doomy coda of Too Raging to Cheers as well as opening track White Noise’s graceful melodic arcs, which lure the listener in rather than making a grand statement. Indeed, the album carries much of its emotional weight in its keyboard melodies, whether its the subtle soar of Death Rays or the more mournful tones of Letters to the Metro. Compared to the epic sprawl of The Hawk Is Howling, Hardcore Will Never Die feels simpler and more structured.
