Rock Action

From the opening static surge of Sine Wave to the majestic closer Secret Pint, Mogwai is at its best on their 2001 album, Rock Action.

The Scottish post-rock band reigns in much of the bombast of earlier recordings, opting for melody and texture over all else. Guitarist Stuart Braithwaite contributes more vocals than ever before, though they're often hushed or heavily treated.

Super Furry Animals frontman Gruff Rhys lends his voice to the haunting track "Dial: Revenge."
