More about: Belle And Sebastian

Surprise! Belle and Sebastian are getting in there early with one of the first releases of 2023. Announcing a surprise album, Late Developers, to arrive this Friday 13th January - they’ve also shared the first single.

‘I Don’t Know What You See In Me’ is the band at their funnest, wandering into the new year with a pure pop sensibility ready to have a good time. With their last album only being released in May of 2022, the band are on fire at the moment with an incredible output of work that rivals all the old favourites.

Talking about the single, frontman Stuart Murdoch said: “"I was bicycling across Scotland last summer, listening to a mix of this song. It was written and produced for us by our friend Pete ‘Wuh Oh’ Ferguson.  As I listened to it, I felt lucky to be the first person to get to sing this song. I let my voice swoop and soar in ways that it maybe hasn’t before. And as I continued through fields of gold and green I allowed myself to forget it was Belle And Sebastian, and pretend it was the latest hit on some random radio station. All music is escape, and perhaps we managed to escape a little further than usual with this unexpected tune.” - Lovely!
