Since 1997, the band have released eleven studio albums, with 2021’s As The Love Continues, being a commercial and critical success, reaching number 1 on the Official UK Album Charts, amassing a Mercury Prize nomination and winning the Scottish Album of the Year award. The band have also released multiple EPs and contributed the score to projects for Amazon Prime and Apple TV+.

The Bad Fire

The Bad Fire was recorded in Lanarkshire, with Grammy Award-winning US producer John Congleton joining the Mogwai in the studio. A Scottish colloquialism for Hell, The Bad Fire drew inspiration from a series of tough personal moments that the band found themselves in following on from their chart-topping tenth album, 2021’s As The Love Continues.
The band continued to work through this, leading to the creation of The Bad Fire: a collection of songs that forgo nostalgia and easy victories, once again finding Mogwai pushing forward with some of the most beautiful and explosive songs of their career. The album reached the UK Album charts top 5 in January 2025.
