Mogwai - The Bombing of Pan Am 103 (2025)


The Bombing of Pan Am 103 is a poignant and atmospheric soundtrack that showcases Mogwai's mastery in crafting emotive instrumental music. Composed for the BBC/Netflix miniseries depicting the tragic 1988 Lockerbie bombing, the album traverses a range of moods—from brooding tension to reflective melancholy. Tracks like "No Survivors" and "Swiss Timers" build suspense with their layered textures, while "A Little Piece of Scotland" offers a serene interlude amidst the somber themes. Critics have noted the album's ability to stand alone as a compelling listening experience, independent of the visual narrative it accompanies. The concise nature of the tracks ensures a cohesive journey that resonates with both longtime fans and newcomers to Mogwai's sound.
