"Mogwai's tracks are often built around huge guitar riffs and building arpeggios, but they also implement keys, vocals and other instruments. Mogwai helped establish some of the hallmarks of post-rock music, including striking dynamics, recurring phrases, and swelling tremolo picking. When combined with gain, delay, and reverb, rapid picking of single notes and slides up and down the fretboard can create epic glissando."

"The Scottish post rockers from Mogwai are today perhaps best known as masters of one of the movement's distinctive trends - abrupt successions of calm, meditative parts with roaring, all-out outbursts of sound."

"When I'm lonely Well, you know I'm gonna be I'm gonna be the man who's lonely without you."

"And I would walk 500 miles And I would walk 500 more Just to be the man who walks a thousand Miles to fall down at your door."
