After seven years away, bellesglasgow are back. The seven-piece indie rock group has announced their 10th album A Bit Of Previous, to be released on May 6
The first single, “Unnecessary Drama,” is out now alongside an accompanying music video. The video portrays the paradoxical feeling of the mind running at high speed amid the solitude of stay-at-home pandemic life. The bright colors, vintage-appearing clothing, and intricate sets bring an heir of familiarity to the video that will leave fans wanting more.“The song is about a young person experimenting in being a human again after a forced hiatus,” frontman Stuart Murdoch said in a statement.
The album was recorded after the band’s plans to fly to Los Angeles in the spring of 2020 were thwarted by the pandemic. The album was produced and recorded by the band alongside contributions from Brian McNeill, Matt Wiggins, Kevin Burleigh and Shawn Everett. “We did it together, us and the city,” Murdoch continued. “This record was the first ‘full’ LP recording for B&S in Glasgow since, 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.”
In the last few years, Belle and Sebastian have had no shortage of projects on their plate. Their projects have included the band’s four-day Mediterranean cruise liner music festival; a soundtrack for the directorial debut of Simon Bird; a trilogy of EPs; a live album of current renditions of Belle and Sebastian classics, and their lockdown project “Protecting The Hive.”UK and European tour dates for 2022 and 2023.
