Mogwai today announce the release of their new album Atomic on 1 April via Rock Action in CD, double gatefold LP and digital formats. Temporary Residence will release the album in North America.

The album is composed of reworked versions of the music recorded for the soundtrack to director Mark Cousin’s acclaimed documentary Atomic: Living In Dread and Promise, which first aired on BBC Four last summer. Live shows will be announced shortly.

Constructed entirely of archive film, Atomic is an impressionistic kaleidoscope of the horrors of our nuclear times - protest marches, Cold War sabre-rattling, Chernobyl and Fukishima - but also the sublime beauty of the atomic world, and how x-rays and MRI scans have improved human lives. Mogwai’s soundtrack encapsulates the nightmare of the nuclear age, but its dreamlike qualities too. It is the latest in the band’s series of impressive soundtracks and scores, following acclaimed albums Les Revenants (The Returned) and Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait.

Cousins says of Atomic, the film: “I’m a child of the nuclear age, and in my teens I had nightmares about the bomb. But physics was my favourite subject in school, and I nearly studied it at university. Learning about the atomic world excited me. It was like abstract Star Wars.”

Mogwai’s Stuart Braithwaite says: “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.”

Heroes

I, I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim
Though nothing,
nothing will keep us together
We can beat them, for ever and ever
Oh we can be Heroes, 
just for one day

I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can be Heroes, just for one day
We can be us, just for one day

I, I can remember (I remember)
Standing, by the wall (by the wall)
And the guns shot above our heads
(over our heads)
And we kissed, 
as though nothing could fall
(nothing could fall)
And the shame was on the other side
Oh we can beat them, for ever and ever
Then we could be Heroes, 
just for one day

We can be Heroes
We can be Heroes
We can be Heroes
Just for one day
We can be Heroes

We're nothing, and nothing will help us
Maybe we're lying, 
then you better not stay
But we could be safer, 
just for one day

Oh-oh-oh-ohh, oh-oh-oh-ohh, 
just for one day

Tempus Fugit

In Episode 1 of Still, I Write Karis and Safaa catch up with Iman Qureshi about her 2018 Papatango Award-winning play, The Funeral Director. 

They talk diversity schemes, the burden of representation, hijabs in theatre, how to deal with critics and Sir Peter Hall's son.

Episode 1

Appearances of Collections is out now!
http://rumourcubes.bandcamp.com

“Rumour Cubes’ sound is a luminous re-imagining of very many constituent parts” (Louder than War). The London-based six-piece are a gathering swell of strings, electronics and layers of guitars, underpinned by a bass-infused rhythm. Formed in 2009, the band have since cut their own path, crafting music that is by turns melodic and abstract, raucous and reflective, joyful and melancholy.

The band’s two albums Appearances of Collections (2014) and The Narrow State (2012) draw on a wide range of instrumentation, influences and ideas, both packed with Rumour Cubes’ signature changes in pace, texture and form. Appearances of Collections has been described as “a far-reaching and fearless work, a dizzying instrumental adventure” (The Skinny), “music overflowing with a delicate, but nonetheless significant, passion” (Drowned in Sound) and “a labyrinth of vivacity, an album of beauty and transcendence that is meticulously crafted but holds no sense of rigidity, leaving plenty of room for wonder.” (Echoes and Dust).

Rumour Cubes’ performances are underpinned by their love of new technology. The band's live shows often feature mi.mu gloves (guitarist Adam Stark is part of the development team), which allow the wearer to manipulate sound using hand gestures, alongside a host of other technological elements, including joysticks, samplers, synths and a huge array of effects pedals, many of which are custom-built. Adam has also written custom software to synchronise videos to the band’s live performances, turning their shows into a multimedia experience.

Since their inception, the band have collaborated with poets, film-makers and a wide spectrum of other musicians. Collaborations with poet Steve Willey can be found on debut album track The Gove Curve and the 1871 / Letters To Palestine release; and Appearances of Collections includes contributions from 10 guest musicians. In 2013 Rumour Cubes played at Glastonbury, Village Green and Truck festivals alongside Sam Duckworth (Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly). The set at Glastonbury was Sunday's headline act on the Leftfield Stage, and was a live mixtape with artists including Billy Bragg, Kate Nash, Sweet Billy Pilgrim, Jehst, Riz MC and Grace Petrie.

Rumour Cubes are Joe Bartlett (bass), Jay Malhotra (guitar), Hannah Morgan (violin), Terry Murphy (viola), Omar Rahwangi (drums) and Adam Stark (guitar, electronics).
