Sep 28, 2019This is the music from the film with the same title. The music of Belle and Sebastian, sweet and sour as always, guide you to new paths and discoveries.

Oct 1, 2019It's remarkable how well everything fits together. Regardless of how successful you think some of the band's later experimentations have been, they're on strictly old school form here, for better or worse (but mostly for better).

Sep 18, 2019Inspired by B&S leader Stuart Murdoch’s read of the novel, the soundtrack thankfully veers more towards the bibliophile than the head-banger. Two B&S classics are re-worked, including a spritely updating of the perfect fitting I Know Where The Summer Goes as well as more of a straight read of Get Me Away From Here I’m Dying.

Sep 17, 2019Days of the Bagnold Summer encapsulates the best of Belle and Sebastian whist simultaneously narrating the key themes of the film. The gentle approach of the album and the complementary nature of the band’s rerecording’s and the new tracks are hard to fault. Belle and Sebastian have truly found a beautiful sweet spot on Days of the Bagnold Summer between a film soundtrack and a signature sounding album.
