After spending the first five months of the year on the road playing to sold-out venues in the UK, Japan, the US and Europe, Mogwai will release the Travel Is Dangerous EP (12" and CD on PIAS, 26th June). The lead track ("the best shoegazing track since My Bloody Valentine¹s heyday Observer Music Monthl"y) is taken from Mogwai's most revered, and biggest album to date "Mr Beast" and features multi-instrumentalist Barry Burns on vocals. Two album tracks have been remangled for the release in the shape of Acid Casuals take on the piano-led first single Friend of The Night and Error¹s new version of Auto Rock. Two tracks recorded live in Tokyo in January will also be included, the seminal Like Herod and new end of set favourite We're No Here.
Prior to the World Cup, on 24th May "Zidane", a portrait of the French footballer by Scottish film director Douglas Gordon, will be shown in France in over 300 cinemas while also being showcased as an out of competition "Official Selection" at Cannes Film Festival between 17th and 27th May. The film is sound-tracked by a tailor-made score the fitba loving Glaswegians recorded in their Castle of Doom studio over Christmas. Preview screenings have been very warmly received. Trailers viewable at: here and http://zidanelefilm.cine.wanadoo.fr/
Mogwai are currently on a 22 date tour of the US and Canada including Coachella Festival and two nights at New York¹s Webster Hall.
