Over the course of 25 years and 10 studio albums—using raw sonic power mixed with subtlety and grace—Mogwai have defined their own genre of music and built a loyal following of their sound and roots. The film takes us on a journey from their early days 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 it seemed impossible at first, they ended up making history in the process.
