Mogwai’s Concert Film “Burning” & Live Album Special Moves out Today!

Plus New Video Clip & Updated Public Screening Dates

“Mogwai’s first live package– a concert recording and DVD companion, Burning, with a different tracklist– finds them in typically outstanding form”
- Pitchfork, 8.2

“It’s a tour de force of a band at the peak of their formidable powers…”
- Under the Radar Magazine

“…the film is a visceral, erratic, Norman Mclaren-esque experience in black and white.”
– Nylon Guys

“…one hell of a concert film.”
– SF Weekly

“…the black-and-white footage does the talking without standard theatrics…there’s atmospheric beauty in the close-ups of hands shredding at guitar strings onstage and applauding in the crowd.”
- Spin Magazine

“Like most of Mogwai’s music—free of the standard verse-chorus-verse song structure—Burningis devoid of a sense of time. And with its unique focus, the film invites us to bask in the bands music from a ground-level, audience POV.”
– PASTE
