Search results: Mogwai Come On Die Young

Review: Mogwai were something of a shock to the senses when they emerged with their debut Young Team in 1997, and they followed that up with a remix album just to make clear they weren't about to follow any kind of standard rockist trajectory. That kept the possibilities comfortably open for their second album proper, Come On Die Young. In hindsight, the album remains an outlier in the Mogwai catalogue thanks to its prevalent sparse arrangements, and the rarely spotted vocals featuring prominently on 'Cody', but that's precisely what makes it such a special record.
