Cool Britannia

Okay, not quite… but close enough! Belle and Sebastian fans are longing for a follow-up album to 2006’s “The Life Pursuit,” but the band is not planning on recording anytime soon. Instead, Matador is releasing a two disc compilation on November 18 featuring BBC Session performances from 1996-2001.
