Mogwai continue to celebrate their 20th anniversary with word of a long overdue compilation that starts with their Young Team sessions and winds down with last year’s acclaimed Rave Tapes LP. Due out October 9th through the band’s own Rock Action imprint, Central Belters will be available in a triple-CD pressing and 6-LP box set. It will be very loud.
In the meantime, Mogwai’s playing a pair of sold-out gigs at London’s Roundhouse this week as part of an ATP series that includes shows with Public Enemy, GZA, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, and the Jesus & Mary Chain. Craig Murray also directed a new clip for the Ten Rapid track “Helicon 1,” which he describes as follows:
Given the logistics of shooting everything discreetly and also in the sea, the original footage was all shot on an iPhone and a go-pro, with some addition animation using 35mm.
