Artist/Band: Mogwai
Album: "Rock Action"
Released: 2001

Mogwai are a Scottish post-rock band, formed in 1995 in Glasgow. The band consists of Stuart Braithwaite (guitar, vocals), John Cummings (guitar, vocals), Barry Burns (guitar, piano, synthesiser, vocals), Dominic Aitchison (bass guitar), and Martin Bulloch (drum kit). They compose lengthy, mostly instrumental guitar-based pieces, usually focused around the elaboration of a single theme, and are known traditionally for their quiet/loud dynamic, defined bass riffs, and an eminent ambient sound, sometimes dark and sometimes grand. Although frequently referred to as post-rock, the band have revealed in interviews that they despise this categorization, insisting that their sound bears little resemblance to pioneers of the genre, such as Tortoise.

Mogwai are named after the creatures from the film Gremlins (the word itself is Cantonese for 'little-monster'), although Braithwaite comments that "it has no significant meaning and we always intended on getting a better one , but like a lot of other things we never got round to it."

"Rock Action"

"Rock Action" brought with it some changes to Mogwai's sound that they would continue to develop later, including the use of electronic instruments. While song structures on this album are typical of the band in most cases and respects, some of the contrasting dynamics have been toned down slightly and many of the songs focus more on texture than on structure. For the first time, Mogwai utilised synthesizers, expanding their timbral palette.

The tone of "Rock Action" is somewhat less dark than previous works, but maintains Mogwai's cryptic cynicism.
The album's title comes from Iggy Pop's nickname for his Stooges bandmate, Scott Asheton. Pop had at times referred to him as "Rock" Asheton, or "Rock Action". He later changed his name to this nickname.

Lyrics

Ghosts in the photograph never lied to me.

I'd be all of that I'd be all of that.

A false memory would be everything. A denial my eliminent.

What was that for? What was that for?

What would you do if you saw spaceships over Glasgow? Would you fear them?

Every aircraft, every camera, is a wish that wasn't granted.

What was that for? What was that for?

Try to be bad. Try to be bad.
