Mogwai have announced details of a UK tour in celebration of their stunning new album, Atomic. Full dates and ticket details are below.
A run of shows throughout August and September calling at Edinburgh, Coventry and London will see the post-rock icons play the brilliant new soundtrack album Atomic in full - alongside a screening of the accompanying documentary, Atomic: Living In Dread and Promise.
In reviewing the new album, we said: "Mogwai succeed in sucking nearly all humanity out of 'Bitterness Centrifuge' with colossal machine-like synths producing deeply unsettling tones. And while 'U-235' may have been added to the album after the documentary, it still manages to capture something sinister of the 80s in its thudding processed bass line (the title is still a reference to enriched Uranium after all). Slightly more affirming and upbeat sounds on 'Little Boy' and 'Ether' prevent a sense of complete emotional collapse, but not by much."
Mogwai's upcoming tour dates are below, with tickets on sale from 10am on Friday 8 April. For tickets and more information, visit here.
