Mogwai - The Bad Fire in Review
So, the new album by Glaswegian post-rock instrumentalist band Mogwai was released on January 24th on Rock Action Records in the UK and Europe and Temporary Residence Limited in the US, and I can safely say I expect it to be high on the list as one of the greats of 2025 when December rolls around. Their 11th studio album, not including the various live albums, remix albums and soundtracks they've released over the 30+ years of their career, The Bad Fire, is a sonic and emotionally dynamic masterpiece. I do not say those words lightly. My big stupid grin while writing this, if you can imagine that, speaks volumes.

It's Happening to Everybody. Content Warning.
At some point in everyone’s life, whether it is past, present, or twenty years from now, it will happen. When it happens, one will know it. They will feel its presence in their very being and they may be frightened and reject it, or they will welcome it with open arms. That is the message musician and producer Hayden Anhedönia is presenting with her brand new and highly anticipated EP, Perverts, released via her label Daughters of Cain Records. A step away from her brand of storytelling and writing seen with her debut album Preacher’s Daughter, this nine track collection instead configures dark ambience and droning instrumentals which chronicle the very meaning and burden, even, of existence. Channeling inspiration from sounds of the natural world, lust, sex, aching and just about every emotion on the human scale, Anhedönia pulls no punches during the entirety of the EP’s ninety minute runtime, with some listeners already not recommending a listen while inebriated nor sitting idly in a dark room. Some would say, however, that that is exactly the point. They should feel uneasy and uncomfortable, or even that there is a presence waiting with them as the sounds of Perverts flood their eardrums.
