With a distinct clarity and lengthy guitar instrumental pieces, Mogwai still holds their own special place in the hearts of all who love experimental music.
Their style has been influenced by bands including MC5, My Bloody Valentine, Fugazi, and post-rock pioneers Slint. Mogwai's musical style has easily identifiable connections to genres like shoegazing, math rock, art rock and occasionally instrumental metal.
Douglas Wolk, writing for SPIN in 1999 said of the band "Their compositions have gotten increasingly drawn-out and austere over time, sometimes barely more than a single arpeggiated chord or two evolving for ten minutes or more, whisperingly brutal in a way that recalls Slint more than any other band".
Braithwaite, the bands lead vocals often wonders why people focus on and has commented on the absence of lyrics in most of Mogwai's music, as saying,
I think most people are not used to having no lyrics to focus on. Lyrics are a real comfort to some people. I guess they like to sing along and when they can't do that with us they can get a bit upset.-Stuart Braithwaite, The Express
