The Welsh group has used recorded radio and police tape samples, vocals, countless instruments and still manage to have room for change. If one listens to an album like “Come on, Die Young” (1999) with a heavy indie sound and Welsh vocals in-between, they wouldn’t recognise Mogwai’s music with “Rave Tapes” (2014) with its heavy techno rock influences. Every record by the band is a journey worth taking. God is an Astronaut [caption id="" align="alignnone" width="1024"] image courtesy: https://frapress.gr/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/god-is-an-astronaut7-1024x576.jpg[/caption] This Irish band was formed in 2002 and uses techno, indie, classical and folk elements in different places. On “All is Violent, All is Bright” (2005), the group used a Tabla on rhythm and the music still turned out to be outright amazing. The obscurity of “God is an Astronaut” reached its peak with me when they successfully used silence and howling wind in their songs and still kept them sounding well.

Making their debut in 2014 with their first studio album “Growing Suspicions”, the band gained rapid recognition in the Indie community. However, their fan base exploded after the release of their 2015 album “Khwaab”. An amazing use of language in vocals and strong lyrical content with beautifully orchestrated and executed instrumentals showcases the Indian Band’s talent. Their New album, “Zia” (2017) is out on limited release, and there is only praise to be heard. The essence of the song is better understood if you understand Hindi, but the message will still be carried successfully by the music.   If you decide to actually listen to the music, then you can thank me later. This journey to the notes of these songs will bring change in your taste for good.
