A long-lost Belle & Sebastian track dating back to the 1998 ‘Boy With The Arab Strap‘ sessions and written by their now estranged bandmate Stuart David has been unearthed, given an official video and posted to YouTube.
Have a watch below.
‘Paper Boat‘ has been rediscovered at a time when Belle & Sebastian are riding high thanks to their 2015 album ‘Girls In Peacetime Want To Dance‘ – a clear standout release of this year so far.
“‘Girls In Peacetime Want To Dance‘ is to its very core a Belle & Sebastian album, while at the same time being absolutely nothing like a Belle & Sebastian album,” our review begins.
“It has the usual beautiful Nick Drake dripping, pastoral flourishes that present stories of the small lives that people really live in the most beautiful of hues, whilst managing to explore and push their own sound and style in very new and unexpected directions.”
