Isobel Campbell was partly responsible for many of the best moments on early Belle And Sebastian records. She left that band in 2002, and she’s put together a pretty great solo career, often working with her late collaborator Mark Lanegan. Today, Campbell has announced plans to follow her last solo album, 2020’s There Is No Other, with a new one called Bow To Love.

In a press release, Campbell frames Bow To Love as her response to an increasingly dystopian world: “The album is about what we’re all in right now, and my response to that, and my life as a microcosm within that.” But I don’t hear too much of that in the lovely lead single “4316.” It’s a jaunty, sparkly psychedelic folk song. The track has a lot of ’60s in it, but a wigged-out guitar and a synth isolation also evoke classic Madchester. The track could really boggle some minds in a rave’s chillout tent if those still existed.

Richard Heslop, a veteran music-video director who’s been out of the game for decades, came back to co-direct the “4316” video with Vee Vee and Natalya KD. Below, check out that video and teh Bow To Love tracklist.
