Belle And Sebastian – “I Don’t Know What You See In Me”

Belle And Sebastian – “I Don’t Know What You See In Me”

Last year Belle And Sebastian returned with A Bit Of Previous, their first album in seven years. It turns out the sessions for that record yielded a whole second LP, Kid A/Amnesiac style. What’s more, the latter album will be out at the end of this week.

On Friday, B&S will release Late Developers. They’re teasing it today with lead single “I Don’t Know What You See In Me,” a love song that stands as one of the most synth-driven singles in their catalog. Cowritten with Peter Ferguson aka Wuh Oh — the first time a Belle And Sebastian song has credited an outside writer — it builds to a huge, overdriven, neon-streaked finale that would have been unthinkable in the band’s early days and maybe even when they caught their theatrical second wind in the 2000s. It’s good!
