Mogwai: If the Stars Had a Sound CLOSE UP w/ dir. Antony Crook

Mogwai emerged at the height of Britpop in the ‘90s but specializing in elegant and introspective, mostly instrumental post-rock music that incorporates electronic components, found sound soundscapes, the odd whispered vocal, and orchestration. Antony Crooks documents Mogwai’s recording of their album As the Love Continues, with the urban landscape of Glasgow, the band’s city of origin, featuring heavily. The film becomes a glowing tribute to a tight-knit community where Mogwai’s fans and allies are tightly woven into a communal feedback loop. (dir. Antony Crook, Scotland, 2024, 92m)
