Album review
Belle and Sebastian have announced a new album titled Late Developers, which will be released this Friday, January 13 via Matador. It contains material recorded in the same sessions as the band’s last album, 2022’s A Bit of Previous. First single ‘I Don’t Know What You See In Me’, a co-write with Pete ‘Wuh Oh’ Ferguson, arrives today with an accompanying Andrew Litten-directed video available to watch exclusively on Facebook. Check it out here, and find the album’s cover art and tracklist below.
Speaking about the new track, frontman Stuart Murdoch said in a statement: “I was bicycling across Scotland last summer, listening to a mix of this song. 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!”
