Mogwai Recruit Iggy Pop For New Song “Underground”
Mogwai have premiered a new video for their new song “Underground.” The track, which features Iggy Pop, is taken from the band’s new compilation album, “Happy Tears,” which will be released on January 8.
Mogwai‘s Stuart Braithwaite previously praised Pop in his book “Spaceships Over Glasgow: Mogwai, Mayhem and Misspent Youth”:
“Hearing The Stooges had been a life-changing moment for me. Their self-titled album was pretty much my bible. It was druggy, dumb and completely primal. I’d never heard anything quite like it and even though that band had pretty much fallen apart by the time I was born, I grew to love the three Stooges albums as much as any music I’d heard. I had a VHS video of Iggy playing live and I watched it over and over. His performance was unlike anything or anyone I’d seen before. The spectacle was great but it was his voice and songs that really captured me.”
Pop also commented on the collaboration:
“I’ve always liked Mogwai. The opening of the track reminded me of the crushing modern loneliness. The sung vocal, which was arranged by Matt Sweeney, felt like it was made for someone who is pissed off and doesn’t mind saying so.”
Braithwaite also reflected on the group’s career ahead of the new compilation:
“I never thought we’d be making 11 records, because hardly any bands I liked ever did. We’re doing it being weirdo Scottish instrumental misery mongers. Like, yeah, that’s pretty wild.”
Notably, the set will also include a digital audio documentary titled “Happy Tears: The Story Of Mogwai.” The following was said about that:
“Created with creative studio Cup & Nuzzle (‘Transmissions: The Definitive Story Of Joy Division And New Order’), ‘Happy Tears: The Story of Mogwai’ tells the band’s story in their own words for the first time.
Narrated by Cup & Nuzzle founder and BBC 6 Music presenter Matt Everitt, the feature-length documentary is an oral history of three decades of inspiration, independence, music and friendship.”

Peter Sandoval Exits I Am Morbid, Says “Terrorizer Will Continue With Some Changes”
Drummer Peter Sandoval has officially announced his departure from I Am Morbid (ex-Morbid Angel). With this news, he also confirmed that he is planning to move Terrorizer forward “with some changes.” He made the decision after finding it difficult to continue working with David Vincent.
Sandoval shared a series of posts:
Post 1:
“Hey friends , I will not be part of this upcoming tour, and I am no longer part of I Am Morbid.
During my last tour with the band, I went through a lot. I became very sick with the flu and I wasn’t physically at my best, but that is not the reason for my decision.
The truth is that, for some time now, I haven’t been feeling the same connection with these songs anymore. I Am Morbid has focused on the material from Altars of Madness through Domination. I am very proud of those records and everything I created and contributed to during those years, but my history with Morbid Angel continued far beyond Domination. There is a much larger part of my musical legacy that I haven’t been able to represent with I Am Morbid.
I feel that I’ve given the fans everything I could through I Am Morbid over these past years, and now I need to take a break from this chapter and move forward.
I have a lot of respect for Richie and Bill and their work, and I’m grateful for the time we spent playing together—especially on that last tour, when I was going through such a difficult time physically and wasn’t at my best.
Most importantly, thank you to everyone who has been messaging me, sending me love, and telling me you’re looking forward to seeing me in Europe. I don’t want anyone to misunderstand the upcoming tour or expect me to be there when I won’t be.
You will see me again—just under different circumstances.
For now, this is all I want to say. Thank you for all the years of support, love and respect.
Pete Sandoval“
Post 2:
“One more thing I want to clarify. (Part II)
Before my last tour with I Am Morbid, I had already made it clear that I intended for it to be my last and that I needed a break. As many of you know, that tour became extremely difficult for me physically, and when I came home, my priority was recovering.
But after receiving so many messages from fans who were hoping to see me in Europe, I actually began reconsidering. I was planning to start rehearsing again and see how I felt over the next couple of months. If I felt I could perform at the level you deserve, I was going to reach out to the guys and tell them I was willing to do this tour for you.
Before I had the opportunity to do that, I was informed that another drummer had already been hired for the tour.
So I want you to know that I did think about coming back for these shows because of you, the fans. It simply didn’t work out that way.
Thank you again for all the messages and support. It means more to me than you know.
Pete Sandoval … so to the ones who admire my drumming , who expect to see me , I will not disappoint you, you will, just blasting new /other music . Love all”
Post 3:
“HEY GUYS,
I also want to clarify something about
TERRORIZER.I’m not ready to talk about all the details or future plans for Terrorizer yet. What I can tell you is that Terrorizer will continue, with some changes.
I also want to be honest about something. At this point, I don’t feel that David Vincent and I can continue working together. David has his personality and his way of working, and I have mine. We are very different people, and professionally those differences have caused us to clash too many times.
This is not about hate or holding a grudge. Sometimes two people simply reach a point where they realize that working together is no longer good for either of them.
I respect everything we have done together, and I sincerely wish David the best. No hate, no hard feelings. I just believe it’s better for us to continue on separate paths professionally. As for Terrorizer, I’ll share more when the time is right.”
