B&S_We Were Beautiful single AW

Belle & Sebastian share new single, play Panorama this weekend

Belle & Sebastian have released new single “We Were Beautiful,” which is the first new music from the Scottish band since 2015. That’s the cover art above which features some of the fan portraits the band were casting for last year. Skittering and danceable, it feels like a direct descendent of Tigermilk‘s “Electronic Renaissance” and you can listen below.

Belle & Sebastian’s tour pulls into NYC this weekend to play Panorama on Saturday (7/29) where they share the bill with Tame Impala, Vince Staples, alt-J, Pinegrove, Mitski and more. Passes are still available. All tour dates are listed below.
