“It’s basically the soundtrack of my life.” Greenwich Ent. has unveiled the official trailer for a vibrant and inspiring music documentary film titled Mogwai: If the Stars Had a Sound, arriving to watch in April. This first premiered at the 2024 SXSW Film Festival last year and it arrives for release in a few weeks. Yep it’s about the terrific band Mogwai, but it’s not a concert doc, it’s about their entire success. Over 25 years and 10 studio albums—using powerful sonic force mixed with subtlety & grace—Mogwai have defined their own musical genre and built a cult following. The film takes us on a journey from their very beginnings, in the mid 1990s, to creating their 10th studio album (which is titled “As The Love Continues”) in 2020 in their hometown of Glasgow. While at first seemingly impossible to make, they ultimately made history. Director Antony Crook, acclaimed photographer, director & long term Mogwai collaborator, takes us on a journey into the inner workings and the community around this cult Scottish band. This looks like it is much more than just a music biopic, showing how their music connects with the community and their home of Scotland.
Here’s the official trailer for Antony Crook’s doc Mogwai: If the Stars Had a Sound, from YouTube:
Over 25 years and 10 studio albums—using brute sonic force mixed with subtlety and grace—Mogwai have defined their own musical genre and built a loyal following by staying true to their sound and true to their roots. The film takes us on a journey from their very beginnings, in the mid 1990s, to the band writing and rehearsing their tenth studio album in their hometown of Glasgow, Scotland in 2020 – a record which they made during lockdown. While at first seemingly impossible to make, they ultimately made history with it… Mogwai: If the Stars Had a Sound is a music doc directed by the artist / filmmaker Antony Crook, a photographer and long term Mogwai collaborator making his feature directorial debut. Produced by Kyrie MacTavish. This initially premiered at the 2024 SXSW Film Festival last year, and it also played in the UK at the Raindance Film Festival. Greenwich Ent. will debut Mogwai: If the Stars Had a Sound in select US theaters on April 9th, 2025, then on VOD starting April 11th this spring. For info, visit their official site.
