"Cody" is the second track on Come On Die Young, Mogwai's second album, released by Chemikal Underground in March 1999, and it's the odd one out in the best possible way: a Stuart Braithwaite song that sits far closer to a traditional pop song than most of what the Scottish post-rock band had in their catalog.
The whole record leans toward restraint. The band were after a sparser sound, with The Cure's Seventeen Seconds, Slint's Spiderland, Low, Nick Drake and The For Carnation all in the air, and they cut it over just three weeks in Cassadaga, New York, at Tarbox Road Studios, with Dave Fridmann producing, engineering and mixing. It was also the first Mogwai recording with multi-instrumentalist Barry Burns on board.
