On April 1, Mogwai will release their new album Atomic. The record is based on their soundtrack to Atomic: Living in Dread and Promise, a documentary aired last year on the BBC. Today, they’ve shared the video for “Ether” from the record, featuring footage from the documentary. The clip begins in monochrome with clips of microscopic cellular activity, segues into footage of the natural world, and concludes with images of human activity, kitchen appliances, and melting ice caps.

Mogwai have also announced the first batch of shows in support of Atomic. They’ll perform the soundtrack to accompany screenings of the film at venues in Europe and Japan this summer. Check out the dates below, and scroll down for the video.

The film was made by Mark Cousins and Hopscotch Films using archive footage from the BFI.
