Mogwai have released a new single, God Gets You Back.
The hypnotic, six-minute track marks the Scottish quartet's first new music since they topped the UK Album Charts with their latest album, 'Love Conquers All', in 2021.
Produced by John Congleton, the slow-burning atmospheric offering builds from post-rock to synth-pop, with added influence from an unlikely collaborator. The band's Barry Burns explained:
"[The song] needed some melody or vocals, but I couldn’t come up with the lyrics so I asked my seven-year-old daughter to make some up, and she did and I sang them."

As well as new music, Mogwai have revealed tour dates in the UK, Europe, North America and Asia for 2025. Tickets for the UK and European leg go on general sale at 10am local time on Friday (September 20). Head here for details of the other dates.
Stuart Braithwaite said: "We are immensely excited about heading out on our first worldwide tour since the pandemic. We’re going to some brilliant places and can’t wait to perform our new songs."
Mogwai have partnered with War Child for the trek, with a £1/€1/$1 charitable contribution made from every ticket sold.
The news follows the premiere of Mogwai: If The Stars Had A Sound, a documentary chronicling the band's journey from their inception to the present day. They also recently curated and headlined their own festival, Big City.
Not only have the Scottish post-rockers dropped a brand new single, but they've also announced a World Tour, which hits London, Leeds and Edinburgh in February.
