Belle and Sebastian hit the ground running in 2023 with the release of their 12th album Late Developers, out now. It came as a surprise announce earlier in the week alongside first single ‘I Don’t Know What You See In Me’. One of the band’s most unabashedly infectious pop offerings to date, it is also their first co-write, featuring young pop composer Pete Ferguson first.
Arriving almost back-to-back to 2022’s Top Ten album A Bit of Previous, Late Developers comes on like its predecessor’s sun-kissed cousin. It is a full-hearted embrace of the band’s brightest tendencies that is not only fresh and immediate but possessing of that Belle and Sebastian je ne sais quoi of a group that will always be there for you with the perfect word or melody for the moment.
