Please oh please 2 nights at the 9:30!
-----------------------------
Ok, here it is.
"The Life Pursuit", released in the UK/Europe on Feb 6th by Rough Trade Records. Released a day later in the US by our old muckers at Matador Records. Spunk will be fulfilling
Australasian duties as usual, with Trama covering Brazil and Toshiba in Japan.
The album tracklisting goes a little something like this:
Act Of The Apostle Part 1
Another Sunny Day
White Collar Boy
The Blues Are Still Blue
Dress Up In You
Sukie In The Graveyard
We Are The Sleepyheads
Song For Sunshine
Funny Little Frog
To Be Myself Completely
Act Of The Apostle Part 2
For The Price Of A Cup Of A Tea
Mornington Crescent
The album will be preceded by a single, "Funny Little Frog", on January 16th. Will it be released in a multitude of bizarre formats? Who knows?
A UK tour has already been announced (although 2nd nights have been added in Manchester and Dublin). Glasgow, London and Manchester are a bawhair off selling out, so if you're planning
on getting tickets for those shows you'd better move quickly.
A US tour will be announced shortly. Then Europe. Then maybe Japan and Australia. Ah, the promotional merry-go-round.
Cryptic last bit: There will actually be another B&S album (of sorts) released before "The Life Pursuit". In three weeks in fact. But we can't say what it is for a couple of days.
Chris and Richard are also doing some DJ'ing soon as well, check out the News page on the website for more details.
That's it for now.
Thanks,
Belle and Sebastian.
