intro
Latest single to be taken from Mogwai's fifth album 'Mr Beast' which also includes four previously unreleased tracks
'Travel is Dangerous', the title track of Mogwai's new EP, is big and loud, and has a shoegazing sound with trippy vocals that are sung in a dreamy way. While 'Travel is Dangerous' is taken from Mogwai's recently released fifth album 'Mr Beast', the other four songs on this EP, two remixes and two live tracks, are all previously unreleased. 'Auto Rock(Errors remix)' is softer and has a post rock electronica vibe to it, before it speeds up with its different beats going off in many different directions. 'Friends of the Night (Acid Casuals remix), which comes next, is even more mellow still. 'Like Herod (Live' starts off being trippy and quite light before it edges towards becoming the harshiest music that my ears have ever heard. 'We're No Here(Live)'is again very harsh, but if you're not used to feedback by now, then you shouldn't be listening to a band like Mogwai.
