Ticket of the Month: Mogwai

So, not only have Mogwai blessed their new record with one of the greatest album titles in recent memory (Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will), they've also dropped one of the most memorable singles of their career in the form of Rano Pano: a track that churns and lumbers with planet-crushing momentum beneath a web of haunting spectral synthetics.

It's quite brilliant, and sets them up nicely for their upcoming dates at Stirling Tolbooth on 26 Jan, Paisley Town Hall on 27 Jan, Perth Theatre on 28 Jan, Aberdeen Music Hall on 29 Jan, Glasgow's Grand Ole Opry on 30 Jan and Edinburgh's Picture House on 21 Feb. With support from the always terrific Twilight Sad on the Auld Reekie show, and the sublime Remember Remember elsewhere, this is an unmissable tour whichever way you cut it. [Mark Shukla]
