Belle and Sebastian have announced a double live album titled What to Look for in Summer, out on Dec. 11 via Matador Records. The album includes recordings from the band’s 2019 world tour, including last summer’s Boaty Weekender cruise.
Today, Belle and Sebastian have released two new videos with live renditions of “The Boy With The Arab Strap” and “My Wandering Days Are Over.”
“For a while, the working title of the record was Live and Meticulous,” Stuart Murdoch says. “The record company really wanted it to be called Live and Meticulous. But I don’t like derivative things really.”
