Hardcore Will Never Die, but You Will is the seventh studio album by Scottish post-rock band Mogwai, released on 14 February 2011 by Rock Action Records.
In October 2011, it was awarded a silver certification from the Independent Music Companies Association (IMPALA), which indicated sales in excess of 20,000 copies throughout Europe.[1]
The album's cover art is a photo of New York City as seen from the Hudson River.[2] The inspiration for the closing track's title, "You're Lionel Richie", comes from what a hungover Stuart Braithwaite said when he ran into the singer at an airport.[3]
The album continues the post-rock sound Mogwai’s previous releases, with most tracks being instrumental.
