Just in case anyone didn't get the B&S news last week from those cuddly Jeepsters... well at least it's on-topic even if it's old. More exciting titbits to follow. honey xxx
------------------------------------------------------------------------ Belle & Sebastian are currently recording their fourth studio/church album for release in late summer. The band are also planning a three track single to be released before the album.
The much sought after debut album Tigermilk is also scheduled for a release in May. It will be re-mastered and available for the first time on CD as well as vinyl. The decision to re-release the album was prompted by the poor quality bootlegs that have been flying around the world.
In between recording the next studio album, Belle & Sebastian band members Stuart David and Isobel Campbell have both recorded solo albums for release in March and April respectively.
Stuart David's spoken word electronica combo Looper, features his wife Wee Karn and brother Ronnie Black. A joint project with Sub Pop in the U.S., the 10 track debut album Up A Tree on CD and LP is to be released on March 8th. A single Ballad of Ray Suzuki will precede the album on 22nd February and features remixes by Bananahand (Salako) and Twin Tub (Chris Geddes from B&S and Glasgow graphic designer/DJ Andrew Symington) on CD and limited edition 10". Looper will also play some live shows in four independent record shops to coincide with the release of the album. The dates are Tuesday 9th March - Rough Trade Talbot Road, London; Wednesday 10th March - Piccadilly Records, Manchester; Thursday 11th March - Missing Records Wellington Street, Glasgow; Friday 12th March - Avalanche Coburn Street, Edinburgh.
Isobel Campbell's project The Gentle Waves is a sixties influenced pop/folk album with Isobel as chanteuse and playing most of the instruments herself. There are also contributions from friends and various members of Belle & Sebastian. The first limited edition (1000 copies) 7" single Weathershow will be released on 22nd March with the debut album The Green Fields of Foreverland intended for release a fortnight later on CD and LP.
