December 11 street date. "What To Look For In Summer" is a live double album gathering choice selections from Belle And Sebastian's 2019 world tour. Neither a retrospective nor a back-door greatest-hits, "What To Look For In Summer" is the sound of a band that's always moving forward, a picture of Belle and Sebastian in 2019 that gives equal weight to early days ("My Wandering Days Are Over", "Seeing Other People") and recent years.
May 6 street date. "A Bit of Previous" is the ninth studio album by Belle and Sebastian and their first full-length in seven years. So what is a "A Bit of Previous"? It's a bit of everything, and a lot of what makes Belle and Sebastian so special and enduring. It's a band with humour, irreverence, lyrical exactitude and musical bravado tackling the insight, experience and responsibility that comes with getting older. It's a classic Belle and Sebastian album full of melodies that won’t leave your head, and lyrics will that make you smile, ponder and reflect. "A Bit of Previous" was self-produced and recorded by Belle and Sebastian (with contributions from Brian McNeill, Matt Wiggins, Kevin Burleigh and Shawn Everett) in their native Glasgow, and their most hands-on effort since "The Boy With The Arab Strap". The result is one the most diverse and thrilling entries in the band's catalogue. "A Bit of Previous" is Belle and Sebastian once again asserting themselves as an infallible source of energy and fun.

November 3 street date. To celebrate the 25th anniversary of Belle and Sebastian's beloved third album, "The Boy With The Arab Strap", Matador are reissuing the album on limited edition clear blue vinyl with special blue tint album artwork, and an exclusive art print of behind-the-scenes photos from the promotional video for the album. The announcement comes on the heels of a recent creative outpouring from the Scottish group including "A Bit of Previous" (2022) and "Late Developers" (2023). "The Boy With The Arab Strap" twinkles innocently with all the charm of a wind-up music box - but only if you don't listen to the lyrics (or look up what an arab strap is). The dichotomy between Stewart Murdoch's tender adolescent vocals, the sweet, sincere instrumentation, and often lude lyrics make Belle and Sebastian so alluring. A vivid portrait of the internal and external contradiction of growing up. To the world, you are still a child but inside you are a shaken up bottle of carbonated hormones ready to explode. "Timeless, endlessly fascinating folk-pop treasures" - AllMusic.
