Days Of The Bagnold Summer features eleven brand new Belle and Sebastian songs, as well as re-recorded versions of classics “Get Me Away From Here I"m Dying,” originally appearing on 1996"s If You’re Feeling Sinister, and “I Know Where The Summer Goes,” from 1998"s This Is Just a Modern Rock Song EP.

Days of the Bagnold Summer is the latest outside-the-box accomplishment from storied Glasgow 6-piece Belle and Sebastian, comprised of Stuart Murdoch, Stevie Jackson, Sarah Martin, Chris Geddes, Richard Colburn, Dave McGowan, and Bobby Kildea. The last two years have seen them go against conventional practice by releasing a trilogy of EPs to some of the best reviews of their career, and launch and curate their own four-day music festival at sea in The Boaty Weekender, continuing the individualist streak that has characterized them from day one.

This has become one of the most important albums of my life. It’s essence is indescribable. Every sound from the start of the record through the end is placed delicately and with care. The album cover is by Julie Mehretu. It’s absolutely an incredible release for which I shall be eternally grateful.Aniket

Coming September 13th: Brand new recordings from Glasgow�s finest, Belle and Sebastian. Is releasing a soundtrack a different prospect from releasing a regular album? Would a Belle and Sebastian fan notice the difference if they didn�t know? �Everything we do that becomes an album is a big deal for us,� says Murdoch. �We�re quietly pleased with how the collaboration went, but the truth is that you don�t know what�s going to hap- pen when it goes out into the world, and people hear it.� Martin thinks it is slightly different from other records they�ve put out. �It�s more consistent, probably, than most of our albums. Soundtracks are a deeper cut. They�re not a big pop statement.� But is making music for film that different than making it for a listener? �The whole thing with music is to make a good moment better,� Murdoch says. �Deeper, more thrilling, more heartfelt.� Days of the Bagnold Summer is the latest outside- the-box accomplishment from storied Glasgow 6-piece Belle and Sebastian, comprised of Stuart Murdoch, Stevie Jackson, Sarah Martin, Chris Geddes, Richard Colburn, Dave McGowan, and Bobby Kildea.

Belle and Sebastian have revealed the music video for their brand new track, "Sister Buddha". The song is set to appear on the Scottish group"s upcoming original soundtrack for Days of the Bagnold Summer -their first release since How to Solve Our Human Problemslast year. The album will be released on September 13, via Matador.

Days of the Bagnold Summer, directed by The Inbetweenersstar Simon Bird, is based on the graphic novel from Joff Winterhart, and is set for release in 2020.

Belle and Sebastian"s soundtrack features 11 new songs, as well as re-recorded versions of "Get me Away From Here I"m Dying" from 1996"s If You"re Feeling Sinisterand "I Know Where the Summer Goes" from 1998"s This Is Just a Modern Rock Song.

"It"s maybe 25 years old," he explains. "The only time I can remember ever playing it was in a coffee shop with a friend of mine, and people scratching their heads. There was only a verse and a chorus, so I went back to it, and revised the words. It"s a simple song about being over-reliant on a particular person - probably my girlfriend at the time. But it seems to work OK here, too."

Not only is actor/comedian Simon Bird lucky enough to have achieved his dream of being a director, making his feature debut Days of the Bagnold Summer (due for release next year), on top of that, he also convinced his favorite band, Belle and Sebastian, to provide the soundtrack. The Scottish indie rockers—who formed in Glasgow in 1994 and are known for cutting classic albums such as Tigermilk, If You’re Feeling Sinister, The Boy With the Arab Strap,andThe Life Pursuit—also dug up some long lost (and even one unfinished) vintage rarities for Bird’s film. The band also penned new songs for Days of the Bagnold Summer, which is Bird’s directorial debut after making a name for himself in his native UK as an actor on the hit TV and movie series The Inbetweeners. Based on Joff Winterhart’s graphic novel of the same name, Days of the Bagnold Summerstars Earl Cave (son of legendary rocker Nick Cave and also previously in the Netflix show The End of the F***ing World) as a embittered teen spending the summer with him mum (a librarian played by Monica Dolan of Eye in the Sky) after his father fails to deliver on his promise of a glamorous summer Stateside.

Below, Belle and Sebastian frontman Stuart Murdoch tells us more about soundtracking this coming of age story, along with dishing on what it’s like to have a shout-out in an older time honored flick such as High Fidelity,not to mention naming the moment in Belle and Sebastian’s history that is best suited for its own silver screen treatment.

Stuart Murdoch (Belle and Sebastian): It’s one of a number of songs on the record that are older. One of the things that happened when Simon [Bird] contacted us about doing the soundtrack, I happened to be going through a case from a certain period, around 1994 or so, digging up old songs I had never done with the band before, and that was one of them, along with “Safety Valve.” The mood of the songs immediately gelled with the feeling of reading the comic novel. I didn’t have to do much to that one [“I’ll Keep It Inside”]. The words were intact. But even when I wrote it, it’s the kind of song that came from a mystical memory that probably never even happened from my school days. That’s the songwriter’s privilege. If you have a hazy memory of catching someone’s eye, you can then extrapolate from there.

Yes, that’s very well researched of you! That was one that I could remember in part. It was actually because I was looking for “Safety Valve” that I dug up all these other bits and pieces from right before the band got together. But I found to my disappointment that I didn’t actually have much more than I remembered. I pretty much remembered all that I had, what I’d dug up wasn’t complete enough to fill in the gaps, so I had to flesh that song out a bit for the soundtrack.

I think the film gave me an excuse to do it. It was the perfect match. It was easy and went along with the recording process. We didn’t try too hard, we didn’t try to fill them out with an orchestra or anything. Some of them only have me with a guitar, Dave [McGowan] on standup bass, and Richard [Colburn] tapping softly along softly on the drums. And sometimes you can get a cool sound from that.

Apparently director Simon Bird is a huge fan of your band? And that he insisted on using your song “Get Me Away From Here I’m Dying”? How did it come about?

It was a typical conversation for these cases—he spoke to the producer about getting someone like Belle and Sebastian to do the music. And the producer replied, “Why don’t you just ask Belle and Sebastian?” It’s not like we’re in a gilded palace over here, we’re just sitting around. So I’m glad that he got in touch. It was just a simple phone call, and we met up pretty quickly, and we visited the film set. It was easy. I’m not sure if it was his plan to use our music in the film, but he certainly became attached to it. What often happens when you’re making a film, from speaking to people, is you put in music as a marker and then you can’t get rid of it, it’s hard to edit the song out.

As a fan of your band, he must’ve had an interesting reaction to you digging up old half finished songs like “Safety Valve” and providing them for his soundtrack.

I’d never seen them, though it might’ve been a generation thing because The InbetweenersI know is such a huge show. But I was a fan of his when I met him, because it was clear his sensibilities were in the right place. It didn’t take much convincing for me to get involved, because I liked the comic novel as soon as I read it. The day I met Simon he gave me a copy, and I couldn’t put it down.

I do like comic novels. I don’t read them voraciously, but I’m a big fan of the Optic Nervecomics, because they have so much comedy in them. They have a similar sensibility to Days of the Bagnold Summer.Sort of angsty, coming of age books. And it was just really well written.

I think I could understand him at least. Anybody whose gone through puberty could understand these kind of frustrations. He’s angry at his mom who doesn’t deserve it, she did nothing but bring him up, but his dad left for a more glamorous life, and he was meant to go visit him over the summer, but when his dad cancels it’s when the story begins.

The mom is really the main character. The son acts like a typical angry youth. But it’s the mom who has all the emotional legwork. She plays it beautifully in the film. There’s a lot going on there. The son probably doesn’t think of it but the mom is probably feeling lonely, and is struggling without a partner, and we really get to explore her story throughout the course of the movie.

Yeah we get to see the scenes. We basically saw it, got inspired and record enough stuff for him to work with. It wasn’t like working on a film score, where each piece of music has to fit on a technical level with what’s happening on the screen.

Something like Harold and Maudewas something we talked about a lot while working on this soundtrack. Cat Steven did the music, and I remember reading about the process, he and the writer/director took a whole week before shooting and got a real feel for the movie. So their thoughts and efforts were intertwined. That’s a great benchmark for me, going into a soundtrack project.

Yes, it was a very different project. We came out of the end of that process and were desperate to give our best effort, but the movie was already done and the director just wanted some simple pieces of music for filler, he didn’t need much of what we came up with. So in a sense, we invented our own soundtrack to a movie that doesn’t exist. We made this album based on the movie, with a little of it used in the movie.

This was a more satisfying experience. I mean, I’m fond of the Storytellingrecord, but this was definitely better, to come in earlier before the film was even made. And we wanted to give people their money’s worth, so we packed it full of old songs too.

Lastly, I wanted to ask about your band’s early days, like in 1997 when you recorded music in a church that you were living in. Do you look back on that fondly, or was it tough at the time?

I moved into the church when the band started actually, and it went very much hand in hand with the story of the band at the start. We rehearsed everything there, and because I liked the acoustics we ended up recording there as well, because we were chasing a particular sound. So it was a really interesting time. One of these days I could maybe see dramatizing it. For years I couldn’t even get a band together, and then all of a sudden I had these people, just as I got a job living and working as a janitor at the church; trying to juggle practice with the band while the local retirees had their bridge club in the next room and didn’t want to be disturbed. It feels like a bit of a movie now, looking back.

Belle and Sebastian have detailed their original soundtrack for the upcoming film Matador. The soundtrack features 11 new songs, as well as re-recorded versions of “Get Me Away From Here I’m Dying” and “I Know Where the Summer Goes.” Below, check out the music video for “Sister Buddha.”

In a press release, Stuart Murdoch said that Days of the Bagnold Summer director Simon Bird “was adamant” that the band used “Get Me Away From Here I’m Dying,” which originally appeared on 1996’s If You’re Feeling Sinister. “He’s a proper fan of the group,” said Murdoch.

In addition, Murdoch discussed the origins of “Safety Valve,” a track that he calls “ancient.” He explained, “It predates the band; it’s maybe 25 years old. The only time I can remember ever playing it was in a coffee shop with a friend of mine, and people scratching their heads. There was only a verse and a chorus, so I went back to it, and revised the words. It’s a simple song about being over-reliant on a particular person—probably my girlfriend at the time. But it seems to work OK here, too.”

Days of the Bagnold Summer is an adaptation of Joff Winterhart’s coming-of-age graphic novel. Set for release in 2020, it stars Earl Cave (“The End of the F***ing World”), Monical Dolan, Rob Brydon, Alice Lowe, Tamsin Greig, and Elliot Speller-Gillot.

Belle and Sebastian have soundtracked so many real-life depressed teenagerhoods that they practically invented the genre of “songs to stare out car windows to.” This is probably why, in their 23-year tenure as indie-pop royalty, so many movies and TV shows have relied on their songs, from Juno to High Fidelity to “The O.C.” and “Gilmore Girls” and beyond.

Their original film soundtrack Days of the Bagnold Summer will feel familiar to anyone who’s heard the band underscore a dreamy montage sequence. The film, an adaptation of the graphic novel of the same name from rookie director and Inbetweeners star Simon Bird, stars Earl Cave (son of Nick Cave) as a teen equally obsessed with metal and moping in the bathtub. His ennui is only heightened when plans to visit his father in the U.S. are canceled and he’s forced to spend summer vacation alone with his mum.

The soundtrack consists of 11 new Belle and Sebastian songs and some instrumentals, along with “I Know Where the Summer Goes,” from the 1998 This Is Just a Modern Rock Song EP, and “Get Me Away From Here, I’m Dying” off of 1996’s If You’re Feeling Sinister. Also on the album is the ancient and excellent “Safety Valve,” a paean to codependency Stuart Murdoch wrote before Belle and Sebastian formed but had never released. “It’s maybe 25 years old,” he wrote in a press release. “The only time I can remember ever playing it was in a coffee shop with a friend of mine and people scratching their heads.”

Perhaps we live in a time more accustomed to anxiety and excessive emotional dependence on friends, because there’s no need for head-scratching now: The lyrics (“’Cause sometimes I just need a pal/Thanks for being my safety valve… Hey, I’ve been there before/I’ll save you, it’s a serious bore”) nail the feeling of knowing you’re emotionally overburdening a friend but doing it anyway.

Days of the Bagnold Summer’s instrumentals, which comprise the score of the film, are actually are some of the album’s best moments. “We Were Never Glorious,” a greensleeves-y fiddle track, nails the delicate balance of “hopeful yet totally melancholic” and is just the kind of music suited to walking around pretending you’re in a movie.

The new songs, meanwhile, feature a return to form for Belle and Sebastian, whose more recent releases have ventured away from their trademark style of “puckishly depressed” and into explorations of the dancy, the jazzy, and, occasionally, the kinda bad. No one can blame them for wanting to experiment, but it’s good to see they’ve shelved the synths for this album. When you have Belle and Sebastian soundtrack your film, there’s likely a particular sound you’re after, and the band doesn’t disappoint.

If you"re unfamiliar with Days of the Bagnold Summer, it"s a coming-of-age story "of a heavy-metal-loving teenager’s holiday plans falling through at the last minute, leading to him having to spend the summer with the person who annoys him most in the world: his mum" and stars Monica Dolan, Earl Cave, Rob Brydon, Alice Lowe, Tamsin Greig, and Elliot Speller-Gillott.

Belle and Sebastian revealed way back in the fall that they would be soundtracking the new coming-of-age comedyDays of the Bagnold Summer. Today, they’ve formally announced the record and shared its lead single, “Sister Buddha”.

Though the film itself, the directorial debut of Simon Bird, has yet to secure a firm release date, Belle and Sebastian’s OST is coming September 13th from Matador Records. The album features 11 completely new songs from the Glasgow favorites, as well as two re-recordings of past classics: “Get Me Away From Here I’m Dying” off 1996’s If You’re Feeling Sinister and “I Know Where the Summer Goes,” from 1998’s This Is Just a Modern Rock Song EP.

Days of the Bagnold Summeris based on the 2012 graphic novel of the same name by Joff Winterhart. Though Belle and Sebastian’s Stuart Murdoch had never read the comic before being approached about the project, he immediately dove in for inspiration. As he said in a press release,

“[The graphic novel’s] style and its atmosphere set me off straight away. I read it on a Friday, and by Monday I pretty much had all my ideas lined up. What was great was that Simon hadn’t shot anything then. You want to get in early, because that way you can start having late night conversations with the director about The Graduate, or whatever. We all have fantasies about those great movies of the Sixties and the Seventies. If you going to get involved with a project like this, you want to do it right.”

As a first listen at the OST, Belle and Sebastian have shared “Sister Buddha”, a track which serves as something of the film’s theme. The anthemic, charging track wasn’t initially intended for the movie, but when Bird heard it, he knew he wanted it to be included. “It just came from my present interest in Buddhism,” said the director. “Simon picked up on it, wanting to have something uplifting at the end of movie, and we were happy for him to have it”.

Belle and Sebastian have a short run of summer tour dates coming up ahead of their The Boaty Weekender festival cruise. Find tickets to all their upcoming shows here, and see the Days of the Bagnold SummerOST tracklist and artwork below, followed by a brief synopsis of the movie.
