Songfacts®:

  • Mogwai upset some of their fans with Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will by including some surprisingly poppy tunes. Bassist Dominic Aitchison told Uncut magazine February 2014: "I have absolutely no idea where these upbeat songs came from, but again, we don't really know the direction a record's taking until it's nearly done. I definitely raised my eyebrows when I first heard ' George Square Thatcher Death Party' because I thought it was too straight ahead and not like us, but it was fun to play and it sat well when we were sequencing the album. A lot of the long-term Mogwai fans absolutely hate that tune."
