A new Belle and Sebastian release is always something to cheer. So three new releases leads to the inevitable conclusion: three cheers! Here is the latest installment in a career that has always pursued a singular and delightful vision of what pop represents and what it can achieve, a career that has seen them triumph against the odds to win a Brit award, be one of the first bands to curate their own festival, and play at the official London residence of the US ambassador (the last presidents ambassador, not the current ones). Murdoch, as ever, is not the only writer. Sarah Martin (violin/ vocals) brought in the delicious The Same Star, which marries Belle and Sebastians melodiousness to a pounding Motown backbeat, and was produced by Leo Abrahams (Ghostpoet, Wild Beasts, Regina Spektor). Wed met Leo in February of 2016, and Id say that meeting and the recording of Ill Be Your Pilot were the first tangible steps of this EP project, Martin says. We didnt have a stack of songs to play him, but we liked him and he became a part of the plan from that point - and when Id got to a point with The Same Star where it just needed to be recorded, I thought it could benefit from having a producer to steer things, and fortunately we had a slot in the diary marked Leo coming up. Its not a song wed laboured over playing for months - it fell together quite quickly thanks in large part to Bobs [Bobby Kildea, guitarist] enthusiasm and Stuarts willingness to dismember an old song and repurpose the break, so that it wasnt just the same three chords over and over and over. Theres one big reason why 15 songs are coming out on three EPs, rather than one album. Wed made a couple of LPs, Tigermilk and If Youre Feeling Sinister, within the space of six months, Murdoch says, remembering the early days of the bands career, and how that fed into their decision-making this time. Part 2 will be released January 19th, 2018. Part 3 & a gorgeous box set + CD encompassing all three EPs will be available February 16, 2018.
