Tomorrow Glasgow's Belle & Sebastian kick off their North American tour at New York's Panorama Festival and today they've released their first new single since 2015. "We Were Beautiful" is everything that fans of the band would clamour for and something that will most definitely pique the interest of newbies. Kicking off with a muted break beat and a melodic bass line before Stuart Murdoch leads off the first verse in his world weary tone. When the chorus kicks in though is when the song really takes off.
