Four years after their last album debuted at #1 in the UK, Mogwai's new album, The Bad Fire, marks the release of the eleventh studio album by the Glaswegian band of geniuses, celebrating their 30th anniversary. Mogwai is pleased to announce the release of "The Bad Fire," the eleventh studio album by the Glaswegian prodigy, produced by John Congleton (St Vincent, Angel Olsen, John Grant) at his Scottish studio, Chem19. The Bad Fire", their eleventh studio album produced by John Congleton (St Vincent, Angel Olsen, John Grant) at Chem19 Studios in Scotland. The album was recorded in Lanarkshire with Grammy Award winning producer Congleton. The Bad Fire, which means Hell in Scottish colloquialism, was inspired by a series of personal challenges the band faced after dominating the charts with their tenth album, 2021's As The Love Continues. It is a collection of songs that eschew nostalgia and easy victories by a band that has worked through such things, and Mogwai once again moves forward with some of the most beautiful and explosive songs of their career.After the release of "As The Love Continues" and the high that followed, the next few years were difficult for me personally. We have dealt with a lot of loss, and in Barry's case, a serious illness of his daughter. Coming together again to write and record this album felt like a refuge, and we feel that we have created something special with John Congleton. We often hear people say that our music has helped them get through difficult times in their lives, and I think for once it's true for us," says Mogwai. The Bad Fire is a bold return for the band, a record that delves into fresh new territory while maintaining its power Mogwai has been moving forward without a plan since his teenage years. Naturally, there were no secret meetings to develop a master plan. Rarely has a band been active for so long and left behind so many albums. Twenty-five years after the release of their debut single, Mogwai's tenth studio album, As The Love Continues, debuted at number one on the Official UK Albums Chart.'We didn't start the band or the label to get into the charts, no one imagined we would be in a position to get to number one. With a loan of £400 from my now brother-in-law, we started the label, and Martin's family was generous enough to pay for a studio to record the songs. We were just kids who wanted to make a great sound and get John Peel to play our records. To our surprise, John did, and things happened, and here we are," says Stuart Braithwaite of Mogwai. 2025 will mark the 30th anniversary of Mogwai, a band formed in Glasgow in 1995 that no one could have imagined would ever reach this point. No one could have imagined that Mogwai, formed in Glasgow in 1995, would reach this milestone. Nor did they expect their next album to follow their first number one album, Mogwai's last album, As The Love Continues, to become the number one album of an unexpected lockdown period in 2021, following a spontaneous grassroots social media campaign. It became the number one album.Fans and music industry supporters all agreed that what the country needed at that difficult time was a chart-topping Mogwai.
