Belle And Sebastian announce new album A Bit Of Previous

Belle And Sebastian are to make the LP available with four different sleeves.

Belle And Sebastian’s tenth studio album, and first in seven years, will be released on May 6th.

A Bit Of Previous was recorded in Glasgow, the start of the pandemic in the spring of 2020 shelving plans to work in Los Angeles and offering the band the opportunity for studio time in their hometown for the first time since 1999 and Fold Your Hands Child.

First single Unnecessary Drama is, according to Stuart Murdoch, ‘about a young person experimenting in being a human again after a forced hiatus:

“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.”

With travel to the US now back on, the band have arranged a spring tour there, beginning on May 24th at Rabbit Rabbit in Asheville, NC.
