#Mogwai Share Video for New Song “Ritchie Sacramento”: Watch

Mogwai’s new album As the Love Continues is out February 19 via Temporary Residence Ltd./Rock Action. Following “Dry Fantasy,” the Scottish group is back today with the Sam Wiehl-directed video for new song “Ritchie Sacramento.” The video’s animation was created with the Unreal Games Engine. Check it out below. 

“‘Ritchie Sacramento’’s title came from a misunderstanding a friend of ours had about how to say Ryuichi Sakamoto,” Stuart Braithwaite said in a statement. “The lyrics were inspired by a story Bob Nastanovich shared about his friend and bandmate David Berman who proclaimed ‘Rise Crystal Spear’ as he threw a shovel at a sports car. The song is dedicated to all the musician friends we’ve lost over the years.”
