Targazer

Mogwai live team member Alex Mackay comes charging out of the gate on his debut solo album with a fierce new work that will appeal to fans of dark dense electronics. From the frenzied blast beats of the album opener God Monitor/Screen Burn to the intense sludgy heaviness of Hex Negative, Targazer chews its way through its evolving environs. The final four pieces originated in sessions between tours with Mogwai in late 2018/early 2019, in which Alex's onstage setup of electric guitars, synthesizers, effects pedals and amplifiers was augmented with experimental computer processing, sampling techniques and manipulated string textures.
