I know music can hardly get more awesome/perfect than Hardcore Will Never Die, but there’s something extraordinarily appealing to its softer-sounding little brother Earth Division. it’s been a very good decision to take those four songs out of the official album. not that they’re bad – but they’re just different. unexpectedly different. they sound a bit like a film soundtrack – which is not necessarily a bad thing, actually it’s probably a very good thing cause mogwai show some amazing diversity in the music they create. let’s just say that if they’re ever asked to write the original score to a film, I’d watch this film, even if it’s a romcom.
well, actually it depends what romcom.
actually, probably won’t watch it. but I’d definitely buy the album.
thing is, those songs are just superb for a lazy, rainy, cold winter sunday afternoon when you don’t have internet and the only thing you could really do is read a book. which is pretty much what’s happening right now with me. cause while Hardcore… makes you jump out of your seat and go do something with your life, Earth Division makes you… well, look out of the window and stare at the rain.
ok, I just pretty much spent more time writing about the EP than its actual length.
