The memoir will see Braithwaite revisit his childhood in Scotland, as well as his decades-long career with Mogwai, from their 1996 debut single up until their 2021 chart-topping album As The Love Continues, and is set to arrive on 1 September via White Rabbit.

On Twitter Braithwaite wrote of the book, "I am immensely proud to be releasing a book called Spaceships Over Glasgow on White Rabbit on September the 1st. It’s about my teenage idiocy, life in general, gigs and playing in Mogwai."

In a press release, he added, "I am immensely proud to be working with White Rabbit on my first book Spaceships Over Glasgow. The process of researching it and writing it has been challenging but one that I’ve really enjoyed. It’s incredibly exciting to be able to share it with the world."

Lee Brackstone, the publisher of White Rabbit said, "From his early years in thrall to the giants of alternative music like MBV, JAMC and Sonic Youth to improbable sonic misadventures on tour with one of the greatest psychedelic bands of the present day, Mogwai, Stuart Braithwaite’s memoir is a funny and righteous celebration of a life lived on the road and in the studio, dedicated to the pursuit of aural (and occasionally) psychic enlightenment and obliteration."
