Mogwai’s manager, Alen McGee, has been quoted as saying that “Mr Beast” is “possibly better than ‘Loveless,’” the legendary My Bloody Valentine triumph of sound engineering (and reportedly the most expensive record ever made).The comparison is not quite called for, but McGee is right to call attention to the album’s production.

It dives headlong into her anger about giving up her own ambitions for the sake of raising a child while floundering in an apparently loveless marriage to the neurotic comix-maker Justin Green (who is also famed for his brutal auto-bio works).
