Mogwai apparently aren’t done with 2011.  After merely releasing one of the best albums of the year (so far) with Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will, the band is set to release an EP in September.  The Earth Division EP will apparently be a bit of a diversion from the group’s guitar slaying norms into a “more recontextualised domain of hazy electronic distortion, accompanied by spiky wafts of violins, violas, cellos and double bass and jagged keys.”  Well I just got goosebumps.  The 4-track EP will be available in North America September 13th via Sub Pop.  Re-listen to “Rano Pano” below and more for the tracklist.
