Atomic will be issued via the band's own Rock Action Records label on April 1. Their first full-length recording since 2014's Rave Tapes features reworked material that the Glasgow group composed for last year's BBC4 documentary Atomic: Living In Dread And Promise. It was directed by Mark Cousin's and explored the 1945 Hiroshima bomb attack.

They've also made one of the tracks, U-235, available to stream.

MOGWAI previously recorded the soundtrack to 2006 film Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait, with the album released the following year.

 

The band split with guitarist John Cummings last November. He decided to leave to pursue other musical projects.
