Mogwai‘s next album is another soundtrack, this time for the the forthcoming sci-fi/crime drama KIN.
“We were really excited to be asked to record the original score for Jonathan and Josh Baker’s debut movie KIN,” the band respond.
“It was amazing to do a project that was so different to anything we’ve done before and see how our music fits in a totally different environment to how it’s been used before. The music in the film is some of my favourite Mogwai has ever made and we can’t wait for people to hear it.”
Mogwai play Robert Smith’s Meltdown Festival tonight, with the weekend bringing an appearance at Traumzeit in Germany. KIN’s soundtrack is out on August 31st.
