Mogwai have shared the video for new single ‘Party In The Dark’, taken from forthcoming album Every Country’s Sun.
Directed by Craig Murray and inspired by 80s sci-fi and horror movies, the practical effects film was created using silicone moulded sculptures, which were cast in wax and then melted. The video was filmed over 10 days a combination of stop motion, regular and time-lapse filming.
Mogwai begin their massive world tour in Oslo on 10 October, taking in dates in Europe, north America and the UK, and wrapping up with a performance at London’s O2 Academy Brixton on 15 December, followed by their huge hometown show at The SSE Hydro, Glasgow on 16 December.
