Belle and Sebastian
announce new album
Girls In Peacetime Want To Dance
out Jan 16 one week prior to their
Auckland Laneway performance
Belle and Sebastian will release their ninth studio album on January 16, 2015 in New Zealand via Matador Records – their
first to be released on Matador worldwide. The announcement comes as their spot on the Auckland Laneway Festival 2015 is
confirmed.
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 have shared a trailer highlighting their time in Atlanta and other little moments soundtracked by a snippet of
music from Girls In Peacetime Want To Dance.

Catastrophe Waitress”. Details here:http://www.belleandsebastian.com/reissues/
