Belle and Sebastian are releasing a new album this week

Surprise! Kicking off the new year in style, Belle and Sebastian have announced that they’ve got a brand new album and it’ll be out this Friday, 13th January! Called ‘Late Developers’, today they’re sharing the album’s pop-leaning first single ‘I Don’t Know What You See In Me’. “I was bicycling across Scotland last summer, listening to a mix of this song,” frontman Stuart Murdoch says. “It was written and produced for us by our friend Pete ‘Wuh Oh’ Ferguson. As I listened to it, I felt lucky to be the first person to get to sing this song. I let my voice swoop and soar in ways that it maybe hasn’t before. And as I continued through fields of gold and green I allowed myself to forget it was Belle And Sebastian, and pretend it was the latest hit on some random radio station. All music is escape, and perhaps we managed to escape a little further than usual with this unexpected tune. Thanks Pete!” Have a listen to ‘I Don’t Know What You See In Me’ below. ‘Late Developers’ Tracklisting: 1. Juliet Naked 2. Give A Little Time 3. When We Were Very Young 4. Will I Tell You A Secret 5.
