Mogwai’s 2003 album ‘Happy Songs for Happy People’ gets a welcome vinyl pressing from Pias Recordings, reminding of the brilliance of this well-loved group. On tracks like ‘Ratts of the Capital’, it is a thrill to hear the band’s full scope, with atmospheric piano and guitar licks building into a huge mass of fuzzy melancholy. Elsewhere, the album contains some of Mogwai’s most haunting numbers: the mournful strings of ‘Moses? I Amnt’, the wide-eyed and wistful pianos of ‘Golden Porsche’, and the naively twinkling electronics of ‘I Know You Are But What Am I?’.

Pressed on transparent green vinyl (limited to 5,000)
