Originally the band had planned to record As The Love Continues in the States during the early months of 2020, however it was decided that it would be done closer to home in Worcestershire due to safety concerns surrounding the impending Covid-19 pandemic. Mogwai cancelled their 2021 tour and all 2020 shows because of the ongoing virus and today was the first fans have gotten of what the future of the Scottish group has to offer in regards to promotion and celebration of their upcoming album.

The first single off the forthcoming record As The Love Continues was released in October after the group announced the release date of the coming full-length album. The single, Dry Fantasy was met quickly with fan and critic acclaim and preceded 5 other singles that were released shortly thereafter. Here We, Here We, Here We Go Forever, Pat Stains, Fuck Off Money and Supposedly, We Were Nightmares are the singles released in 2020 and the full track list was released by Mogwai as well, of which can be found of their website and in the Apple Music/Spotify previews.

Jarvis Cocker said press release about the tour,  “Beyond the Pale was written (& partially recorded) in front of a live audience, so it feels extra-strange not to be able to take it on the road at the moment. “Fortunately, our friends Iain & Jane suggested a way round the problem: set up our equipment in a cave & they would film the results. We have invented a new way of playing a concert.” – NME

The live performance was filmed and directed by Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard. It was filmed at Peak Cavern in Derbyshire where the group recorded the tracks, ‘Must I Evolve?’ and ‘Sometimes I am Pharaoh’ were recorded during a performance in 2018,’ from the debut album.

“Jarvis Is…” recently held a high profile performance at the prestigious London venue, ‘Barbican,’ on 16th October 2020 to promote the new exhibition, ‘Cosmic Dancer,’ choreographed by Michael White. They delivered a “musical response” to the current album and live streamed performance for the new exhitibition.

When talking to The Independent about the release of the groups debut album on 17th July 2020, Cocker said, “Normally a record wouldn’t be released in the summer because everyone is on holiday, but this is a different kind of summer.” 

He also mentioned the importance of the ellipsis after the “IS” in the bands name stating, “It’s important that you have those three dots at the end because, while it wasn’t really intentional when I came up with the name, it implies something that isn’t quite finished.” – The Independent
