Mogwai: If the Stars Had a Sound

Synopsis

When a pioneering band stays true to their roots and follows their own path, the outcome is ‘bigger than words and wider than pictures’.
Over 25 years and 10 studio albums—using brute sonic force mixed with subtlety and grace—Mogwai have defined their own musical genre.
Described as “The blueprint for what an independent group should be” (John Doran, The British Masters), Mogwai built a cult following by staying true to their sound and true to their roots.
The film takes us on a journey from their very beginnings, in the mid 1990s, to the band writing and rehearsing their tenth studio album in their hometown of Glasgow, Scotland in 2020 - a record made during lockdown. While at first seemingly impossible to make, they ultimately made history with it.
Official selection SXSW Film Festival 2024 - 24 Beats Per Second - World premiere
