A video for This Letter has been released by Belle And Sebastian with their Days Of The Bagnold Summer OST out now.
The band have provided the music to the directorial debut of Simon Bird, which is based on the 2012 graphic novel Days Of The Bagnold Summer by Joff Winterhart. “So, is this a soundtrack album or an album album?,” Live4ever’s review reads.
“The answer, perhaps unhelpfully, is it’s both or either depending on your mood. The often-stated problem with accompanying films is that most of the listeners never set the music in the visual context in which it’s meant to be seen, like reaching out for something in the dark.”
“There’s certainly less bounce or intrigue here than was heard on 2018’s life affirming How To Solve Our Human Problems (Parts 1-3), but Days Of The Bagnold Summer is still instantly recognisable as a Belle And Sebastian album, with all the baggage that entails.”
