Mogwai is the legendary post-rock band from Scotland. Their music has become a staple in the post-rock sound and community. The band, formed in 1995, have been influenced by bands such as Slint, My Bloody Valentine, and Joy Division. Their albums hold true to the post-rock tradition of gradual crescendos and dynamic contrasts. Mogwai's sound also includes melodic bass lines and use of guitar distortion and effects to create atmosphere. These albums are some of the best. While Mogwai is not as heavy as Mono in many respects, they are still one of the best post-rock bands that I've heard.
