Collection: HAPPY TEARS: THE STORY OF MOGWAI

“I never thought we’d be making eleven records… so for us to be in that position, and doing it being weirdo Scottish instrumental misery mongers… that’s pretty wild.” – Stuart Braithwaite

This is the definitive story of Mogwai exclusively told in their own words for the very first time. An oral history of three decades of inspiration, independence, music and friendship. 

Brand new intimate interviews with the band – Barry, Dominic, Martin and Stuart – are woven together with mogwai’s vast sonic landscapes to create a memoir in chorus, unlike anything you’ve ever heard before.

From UFO sightings over Glasgow, and frequently paralytic scrappy first gigs – all the way to the Royal Albert Hall, Hollywood soundtracks, near-death tragedy, and a number one album: this is a story of the sublime and the ridiculous, always hand in hand.

Narrated by BBC 6 Music’s Matt Everitt, this feature-length audio documentary spans Mogwai’s entire history, and is released directly to fans worldwide as a unique audio stream  – or via Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or your streaming service of choice.
