A three-track EP designed to ready fans for Mogwai’s 2008 full-length outing, THE HAWK IS HOWLING, BATCAT finds the Scottish post-rock ensemble in fine form.
The two non-album tunes are standouts, with “Stupid Prick Gets Chased By the Police and Loses His Slut Girlfriend” showcasing the group’s more melodic, keyboard-driven work, and the chiming “Devil Rides” featuring the uniquely flat vocals of psychedelic icon Roky Erickson.
However, the real draw of BATCAT is the title track, a searing and thrillingly ominous number that finds Mogwai channeling its inner Black Sabbath with astounding--and extremely metallic--results.
For diehards worried that Mogwai was losing its focus on prior releases, this EP hones in on the band’s strengths with laser-like precision.
