  1. 9.0 |   The Digital Fix

    While a lot of bands see singles and EPs as a way to milk cash from long suffering fans, Mogwai continue to use them as a way of unleashing more of their staggeringly beautiful music on the world

  2. 8.0 |   State

    With this release, Mogwai have highlighted a quality of their music that may have gone overlooked – a condensed tracklist telling a story with cinematic scope

  3. 8.0 |   The Independent

    Finds Mogwai in unusually calm and engaging mood
    Read Review

  4. 8.0 |   AU Review

    A dreamy, frankly beautiful, departure from the post-rock genre they’ve come to pretty much own

  5. 8.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    Should Mogwai ever choose to release a full-length acoustic(ish) album, it certainly wouldn’t be the worst decision they’ve ever made

  6. 8.0 |   God Is In The TV

    Post-rock bands watch out, these are the dizzying heights that you should all want to reach and with this EP, Mogwai are once again raising the bar higheer

  7. 8.0 |   DIY

    A little different, a little bit special

  8. 7.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    This EP sews up an exciting, unexpected chapter in the band’s career. With so many options to choose from, the next step will be anything but dull

  9. 7.0 |   Blurt

    For anyone who responds to this rainy-day interlude, the set's brevity may prove its only rub

  10. 7.0 |   Beats Per Minute

    By putting the heavier guitars and effect pedals in the background – percussion is also barely present – and instead focusing more on pretty melodies, Mogwai have crafted what could almost be described as a minor film-score

  11. 7.0 |   No Ripcord

    Earth Division is more interesting than satisfying, but it’s difficult to dismiss its beauty and its reach past the band’s comfort level

  12. 6.4 |   Pitchfork

    Pleasant enough listening. At the risk of boxing the band in, though, "pleasant" has never been why I've come to Mogwai

  13. 6.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    Doesn’t offer much of anything new to listeners

  14. 6.0 |   The Skinny

    Hawk-eyed die-hards will be able to trace the strands of DNA to previous songs, meaning Earth Division is certainly a trip, just not quite a trailblazer
