Scottish post-rock group Mogwai return with new single ‘God Gets You Back’.
The band have had a busy summer, curating their very own festival in Glasgow – hosted on the city’s southside, Big City Festival saw Mogwai joined by friends, peers, and a few personal heroes.
2021 album ‘As The Love Continues’ reached No. 1, with the band recently premiering Mogwai: If The Stars Had A Sound – the first documentary to be completed on their history, it was directed by long-time collaborator Antony Crook.
New single ‘God Gets You Back’ is out now, a glorious feast of noise that begins in subtle fashion, before surging to its roaring climax. Drummer Martin Bulloch powers the song, while Barry Burns decided the song needed some lyrics – having a dose of writer’s block, he asked his seven-year-old daughter, who thankfully obliged.
Out now, ‘God Gets You Back’ is tethered to a new video, directed and created by Hand Held Cine Club (Justin and James Lockey).
Tune in now.
Mogwai have confirmed a full international tour for 2025, including three UK shows –

20 London O2 Academy Brixton
