Belle and Sebastian announce new album

Belle and Sebastian will release their ninth studio album on January 19th, 2015 (Jan 20 in the North America) via Matador Records – their first to be released on Matador worldwide.

Girls In Peacetime Want To Dance is the long-awaited follow-up to 2010's Write About Love. The album was produced and mixed at Maze Studios in Atlanta by Ben H. Allen III, best known for his work with Gnarls Barkley, Animal Collective, and Raury, among others. Additional mixing was done with longtime collaborator Tony Doogan in Glasgow, and the album was mastered by Frank Arkwright at Abbey Road Studios.

The band are playing a handful of US dates this autumn, the first of which was last night in Miami. Below are newly announced October UK dates and a few major shows next spring and summer. More 2015 dates will be announced later this year.
