Mogwai have been lending their knack for crafting bleak and creeping instrumental epics to a French television zombie series called Les Revenants, which translates roughly to "the ones who came back." Les Revenants is hardly your typical zombie fare. Based on the 2004 movie of the same name, the series posits a world in which people are coming back from the dead and attempting to peacefully reintegrate with society.
Mogwai have now released a four-song EP of their original scoring work for the Canal+ show via their own Rock Action label, and will follow that with a full-length soundtrack. The group rein in their heavier tendencies for the most , expending all their serious looks and towering riffage in the opening ‘Wizard Motor’ before trying out more subtle ideas in the tense serenity of ‘Soup’ or coming across like a Gallic Bohren and Der Club Of Gore on ‘The Huts’, whilst ‘This Messiah Needs Watching captures them at their most succinctly sublime.

Comments about Rock Action Records Mogwai - Les Revenants:
Less noisy and more laid back than their usual stuff but still very good. Features a rare vocal outing.
