‘Girls In Peacetime Want To Dance’ has been confirmed as Belle & Sebastian‘s new album and is to be released on January 19th 2015 through Matador Records.
Back in May, the band revealed they were working in Atlanta with producer Ben H. Allen III with the intention of following up 2010’s ‘Write About Love’ and, in a video trailer (below), have now shed more light on those sessions.
