Mogwai – Les Revenants (10" EP Ltd Ed)
Composing a soundtrack might be the biggest accomplishment for a post-rock band, a genre defined by its ability to create an atmosphere, to craft a mood, to tell stories with sounds and nothing more. Scottish post-rockers Mogwai have had some experience in this field before with their 2006's Zidane, and now they follow up their EP of the same name with the full length Les Revenants, the complete soundtrack to the French zombie drama. For Mogwai in particular to be behind the soundtrack for this television program is only icing on the cake. Imagine the Walking Dead, now imagine if Mogwai had scored it. Of course, the album is completely listenable beyond its associations with the program. This is no nine disc box set to a fantasy opus with every incidental sound recorded - this is music, this is Mogwai's music. It is classic Mogwai in many ways, yet it does show signs of growth, or perhaps an ability to shape their natural talents based on subject matter.
