Scotland’s staple post-rock group Mogwai are releasing their eighth studio album, Rave Tapes, in just one week, and they’ve put it online for full stream in anticipation of its release. Give it a listen below.

Rave Tapes is the follow-up to 2011′s excellent Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will and was self-produced by the band alongside Paul Savage (Franz Ferdinand, Teenage Fanclub). The 10-track release comes out on January 21 via Sub Pop and pre-orders for the album are currently ongoing. According to a press release (and the stream below), it’s a “lustrous collection mined from the same quarry as its predecessors, wreathed in painterly textures underpinned by increasingly electronic beats… the guitars on which Mogwai built their reputation still remain, if for the most part less overtly belligerent this time round. With Rave Tapes, Mogwai’s mastery of sound and space is firmly at its apex.”
