MOGWAI
THE BOMBING OF PAN AM 103
SOUNDTRACK TO ACCLAIMED BBC SERIES OUT NOW
(VIA ROCK ACTION RECORDS)
Mogwai release the soundtrack to The Bombing of Pan Am 103, the new BBC series available on BBC One and BBC iPlayer now. The six-part series is based on the true story of the bombing of a passenger flight over the small Scottish town of Lockerbie in 1988 and the quest to bring its perpetrators to justice.
On 21 December 1988, flight Pan Am 103 was en route from Heathrow to JFK when a bomb exploded in its hold over Lockerbie, killing 270 people, including 43 British citizens and 190 Americans. It was the worst ever terror attack on British soil and the first major act of terrorism against US citizens. The series follows the untold story of the Scots-US investigation into the attack and the devastating effect it had on the small town and the families who lost loved ones.
The series debuted on BBC iPlayer and BBC One on Sunday 18 May, with new episodes premiering at 9pm every Sunday and Monday for three weeks. It features cast members including Connor Swindells, Patrick J. Adams, Merritt Wever, Peter Mullan, Tony Curran, Eddie Marsan, and more.
Mogwai recorded the original soundtrack to the series with longtime collaborator Tony Doogan at the band’s Castle of Doom studio. The album is available to stream and download now.
