The Scottish post-rockers have announced a follow-up to their first number one album.

Formed in Glasgow in 1995, Mogwai have become one of the most beloved and critically-acclaimed Scottish bands.

Their tenth album, 2021’s ‘As The Love Continues’, was their most successful to date, soaring to number one in the UK album charts and winning them the £20,000 Scottish Album of the Year (SAY) Award.
