Add Mogwai to the list of long-standing indie-rock acts leaping to new labels lately -- the Scottish post-rock heroes long associated with Matador Records are offering the cheekily titeld Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will to the U.S. via Sub Pop. Produced by Paul Savage, who helmed the band's very first full-length, 1997's Mogwai Young Team, Mogwai's seventh album was recorded in Hamilton, near Glasgow, and the limited-edition version features a 26-minute bonus track, "The Singing Mountain," which was initially recorded for a German art installation.
