Oct 30, 2020 By Christopher Roberts Mogwai

Scotland’s Mogwai have announced a new album, As the Love Continues, and shared its first single, “Dry Fantasy,” via an animated video for it. As the Love Continues is due out February 19, 2021 via Temporary Residence Inc. Check out “Dry Fantasy” below, followed by the album’s tracklist and cover art.

As the Love Continues is the follow-up to 2017’s Every Country’s Sun. Dave Fridmann produced the album, which features Atticus Ross (on “Midnight Flit”) and Colin Stetson (on “Pat Stains”). The album was recorded earlier this year and was originally supposed to be recorded in America, but the pandemic adjusted those plans, with the band recording in the UK and Fridmann producing remotely.

Even though Mogwai won’t be able to tour the album anytime soon and travel is limited due to the pandemic, in a press release the band’s Stuart Braithwaite says he hopes the music will transport listeners to a different place, “unless you are somewhere really amazing and then why are you listening to some weird music like this?”
