-1. 28 gigs in 2 months in 3 different continents. Sounds very intense. How has it been so far?
It’s been good fun, lots of different places too see, and too much food and whisky.
-2. How does it feel to be considered as one of the most influential and also famous post rock bands?
Well, I wish the millions of pounds would start flowing in. No, it’s very flattering and undeserved.
-3. What are your thoughts on technology and the future of post rock?
I’m not that bothered about the future of post rock or whatever you want to call it. As for technology, I suppose it’s a very important tool for us to utilize. We like anything new that we can play with.
-4. Do you think that post can be a bit monotonous?
Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.
-5. What's more important: the lyrics or the music?
Neither are important, just the vibe. Stop the War.
-6. Who would be Mogwai' s perfect singer?
Beyonce or Michael Bolton. Maybe both of them.
-7. Are there any new bands that got your attention?
De Rosa and Remember Remember.
-8. You have composed the soundtrack for Douglas Gordon’s “Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait”. How did that came out? Are you big football fans? Which team do you support?
Douglas asked us in Glasgow if we were interested and we were. It really worked well I think and it was an unusual project for us to do. We had to do it really quickly due to time constraints but that helped us focus on the work. A lot of the music was written for the album before that we re-worked. We are mostly big football fans. Glasgow Celtic FC.
