Mogwai have announced Atomic, a new album. The record comprises reworked versions of their soundtrack for Storyville – Atomic: Living in Dread and Promise, a documentary on the dawning of the atomic age that aired last year on the BBC. It’ll be released April 1. They’ve also shared “U-235,” which you can listen to above.
Mogwai’s Stuart Braithwaite shared a statement about the record: “The Atomic soundtrack is one of the most intense and fulfilling projects we’ve taken on as a band. Ever since we went to Hiroshima to play and visited the peace park this has been a subject very close to us. The end results, both the film score and the record are pieces I’m extremely proud of.”
They’re also planning to announce live shows.
