Belle and Sebastian have announced their first studio full-length in seven years, 'A Bit Of Previous'
The news comes alongside a lead single, ‘Unnecessary Drama’.
Belle and Sebastian have announced their tenth album and first studio full-length in seven years.
Titled 'A Bit Of Previous', it's set for release on 6th May via Matador, and comes alongside a lead single, ‘Unnecessary Drama’. “The song is about a young person experimenting in being a human again after a forced hiatus”, says frontman Stuart Murdoch. “The person is weighing up whether or not it’s worth the mess! Still, you dip your toe in and it becomes delicious, and you get too much of it. Between trouble and nothing, we still choose the trouble."
'A Bit Of Previous' was recorded in Belle and Sebastian’s hometown of Glasgow after plans to fly to Los Angeles in the spring of 2020 were scrapped due to the pandemic.
Murdoch explains, in the album's liner notes: “We did it together, us and the city. This record was the first ‘full’ LP recording for B&S in Glasgow since Fold Your Hands Child, 1999. We clocked in every morning, we played our songs, we wrote together, we tried new things, we took the proverbial lump of clay, and we threw it every day.”
