Stuart David, formerly of B&S and now of Looper, has found idyllic footage of the group on holiday in 1998 to create a new video for previously unreleased track by Belle & Sebastian to coincide with In the All-Night Café, his memoir of the early days of the group . The song was written in the same era as the band’s 1998 album, The Boy With the Arab Strap. In the All-Night Café is published in Britain on 16 April by Little, Brown, and in the US on 1 May by Chicago Free Press.
Belle and Sebastian return with their ninth studio album, Girls in Peacetime Want To Dance, on January 20th via Matador Records. Our first official taste of the new LP comes in the form of “The Party Line”. An exuberant and dance-floor track. Listen in here:
