Come On Die Young is the second studio album by Scottish post rock band Mogwai, originally released in March 1999 via Chemikal Underground.
Arriving in March 1999 with an album cover that referenced The Exorcist and a title scalped from a well- known Glasgow gang slogan, you'd have expected Mogwai's Come On Die Young to be an apocalypse- harbouring, pre-millennial assault on the senses.
Instead, we were treated to a darkly elegiac (and surprisingly restrained) response to the aural fireworks of their 'Young Team' debut from two years earlier.
Recorded and mixed at Dave Fridmann's Tarbox Road Studios in Upstate New York, Come On Die Young begins with a sample of Iggy Pop eulogising the genius of punk rock and ends with a track entitled “Punk Rock / Puff Daddy / Antichrist”.
This thoughtful and irreverent diptych enclosed an hour of music that was as beautiful as it was blistering and as poignant as it was unpredictable: preconceptions of what to expect from a Mogwai album, disassembled at a stroke.
‘Come On Die Young' was (and remains) a hugely accomplished, elegant and important album, setting a benchmark for the fierce intelligence that would characterise Mogwai's future body of work.
This double album 2LP record set is a limited 2023 reissue on white coloured vinyl housed in a gatefold sleeve with a download, pressed in Europe via Chemikal Underground.
