Originally the band had planned to record As The Love Continues in the States during the early months of 2020, however it was decided that it would be done closer to home in Worcestershire due to safety concerns surrounding the impending Covid-19 pandemic. Mogwai cancelled their 2021 tour and all 2020 shows because of the ongoing virus and today was the first fans have gotten of what the future of the Scottish group has to offer in regards to promotion and celebration of their upcoming album.
The first single off the forthcoming record As The Love Continues was released in October after the group announced the release date of the coming full-length album. The single, Dry Fantasy was met quickly with fan and critic acclaim and preceded 5 other singles that were released shortly thereafter. Here We, Here We, Here We Go Forever, Pat Stains, Fuck Off Money and Supposedly, We Were Nightmares are the singles released in 2020 and the full track list was released by Mogwai as well, of which can be found of their website and in the Apple Music/Spotify previews.
