Mogwai “How to Be a Werewolf” Video

The music video for Mogwai‘s “How to Be a Werewolf” features visuals produced under the umbrella of Antony Crook‘s short film, Thirty Century Man. As revealed by Nowness, the video documents the journey of round-the-world champion cyclist James Bowthorpe during the leg of his journey which led him through the Norwegian countryside. Bowthorpe would go on destroy the previous record by a staggering 20 days. Crook happened to have a demo of ‘How to Be a Werewolf’ on him while producing the piece and noted how the moody ambiance of the song was a perfect fit for the landscape. “When Mogwai saw the footage, the group decided to remix the song, tailor-making a version exclusively for the film. The result spectacularly captures the notion of circumnavigating the earth.” “How to Be a Werewolf” is set to appear on Mogwai’s forthcoming album Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will, which will be released February 15 via Sub Pop Records.
