Mogwai will release a new, currently untitled track on the upcoming Occupy This Album multi-disc compilation, out May 15th.
In other news, the band will provide the soundtrack for an upcoming film by Antony Crook, Hudson River Project, which will document cyclist James Bowthorpe building a boat from New York City’s waste and rowing it the entire 315-mile length of the Hudson River back to NYC.
Filming is scheduled to begin in fall. The band is expected to perform the soundtrack live at film screenings in London and New York. Further information and a trailer for the project can be found at Nowness.com.
