"Acid Food" is a song by Glaswegian post-rock band Mogwai from their 2006 album, Mr. Beast.

[edit] Musical structure

The song begins with a guitar playing two chords (D major and A major). At (0:12), a simple, yet heavily manipulated electronica drumbeat enters. At (0:38), what could be called a verse begins, where vocals by Stuart Braithwaite are sung. At (1:03), what could be called the song's chorus begins, with Barry Burns singing through a vocoder. Another verse and chorus are performed, until (2:44), where a lap steel guitar (played by Dave McGowan) is made use of. At (3:08), all instruments bar the lap steel guitar and the normal guitars stop playing. The guitars harmonise with each other, and gently fade out.

[edit] Other Uses

Acid Food is also referred to food that can be eaten while one is tripping on LSD, such as grapes and bread.
