Mogwai have released new single ‘Ritchie Sacramento’. The title “came from a misunderstanding a friend of ours had about how to say Ryuichi Sakamoto”, explains the band’s Stuart Braithwaite. “The lyrics were inspired by a story Bob Nastanovich shared about his friend and bandmate David Berman who proclaimed ‘rise crystal spear’ as he threw a shovel at a sports car.
