Mogwai's Listening Chair

Elizabeth Alker selects new sounds from the latest ambient and experimental releases, and Mogwai鈥檚 Stuart Braithwaite is in the Listening Chair.

Long-standing Scottish post-rockers Mogwai have been honing their sound for over 25 years, a music that blends the avant-garde and the deeply melodic, the homely and the stratospheric. On the eve of a UK tour and ahead of reissues of seminal early albums Mogwai Young Team (1997) and Come On Die Young (1999), the band鈥檚 guitarist Stuart Braithwaite joins us in the Listening Chair to share a piece of music that transports him to another place.

Elsewhere in the show, Elizabeth offers up sounds from the latest releases by ambient heavyweights Loscil and Lawrence English, plus new piano music from Okonski and a track from the violinist-composer Daniel Pioro.
