Mogwai have been grinding away in earnest on the successor to 2006's Mr. Beast for a while now, as Mogwai fans well know. The Glasgow post-rockers are putting the finishing touches on that LP pretty much as you read this, and lookee here, a purported title has emerged: The Hawk Is Howling. Beats Howlin' Hawk, I guess.

The title, as yet unconfirmed by the Mogwai camp, appears on the website to London's Southbank Centre, which Mogwai will grace in May with a performance at Queen Elizabeth Hall. Thanks to reader Marcel Cordes for the tip.

No word yet on a release date for The Hawk Is Howling, but we do now know when that expanded, 10th anniversary Young Team reissue lands. Look for it May 26 in the UK on Chemikal Underground, and May 27 in the U.S. Oooh, and check out the bonus disc tracklisting-- packed with live cuts, radio sessions, and even a Spacemen 3 cover-- below. Vinyl fetishists can also scoop up a 4xLP box set Young Team reissue.

And it wouldn't be a 10th anniversary celebration without a live Young Team run-through. Mogwai have scheduled two such spectacles thus far, both at Spain's Summercase Festival, which hits Madrid and Barcelona on July 18 and 19.

Catch Mogwai digging into the rest of their catalog here and there as well over the coming months.
