Mogwai have announced Happy Tears, a career-spanning compilation featuring important songs and rare recordings from the group’s 30-year career. The album will be released on January 8 through Mogwai’s Rock Action Records and will be available in 2xCD, digital download and 4xLP formats. The 4xLP edition will include 13 additional tracks.

The compilation includes Underground, a new song released by Mogwai with Iggy Pop. Iggy Pop said he has always loved Mogwai and that the opening of the song reminded him of modern loneliness.

Mogwai have also prepared a new feature-length audio documentary with Cup & Nuzzle. Happy Tears: The Story Of Mogwai is narrated by BBC 6 Music presenter Matt Everitt and will be released on January 8. It will be available as a 2.5-hour audio file in the Happy Tears deluxe package or as a standalone download.

The group have released a new video marking the 30th anniversary of their first single, Tuner. Mogwai’s 2026 European tour will conclude with two concerts at Glasgow’s Royal Concert Hall on November 20 and 21.
