The mighty Mogwai have announced details of a new album, EP and UK tour.

Their sixth studio album will go under the rather fetching moniker of ‘The Hawk Is Howling’ and will hit the shelves on September 22. It will be preceded by the three-track EP called ‘The Batcat’ on September 8.

The EP features quite possibly the best song title we’ve heard this side of the millennium: 'Stupid Prick Gets Chased By The Police And Loses His Slut Girlfriend.'

To support both releases, the Scottish outfit will be heading out on a three date UK tour, taking in the following venues:

Edinburgh Corn Exchange – October 21
Manchester Academy – 23
London Hammersmith Apollo – 24

Tickets cost £17.50 in Edinburgh and Manchester and £20 in London and are available through Gigwise from 9am on June 2.

@Gigwise It's because the only way they could get Dave Rowntree to play the drums was to hypnotise him. Too strenuous otherwise, poor chap.
