Frontman Stuart Murdoch encourages strength and sunny optimism in Belle and Sebastian<\/a>\u2019s new single \u201cSister Buddha.\u201d The track will be featured in the Glasgow band\u2019s score for Days of the Bagnold Summer<\/em><\/a>, out September 13th.<\/p>\n

The monochrome video features a woman getting up out of bed, buttoning her overalls and putting on roller skates that glide her along as she hoists a silver serving tray up in the air. \u201cStep across the lonely threshold of your selfish mind,\u201d Murdoch tells her. \u201cAnd embrace the loving goodness of your human kind.\u201d<\/p>\n

The directorial debut of actor-comedian Simon Bird, the soundtrack also features some Belle and Sebastian deep cuts, including \u201cGet Me Away From Here, I\u2019m Dying\u201d from 1996\u2019s If You\u2019re Feeling Sinister.<\/em> \u201cSimon was adamant he wanted to use it,\u201d Murdoch said in a statement. \u201cHe\u2019s a proper fan of the group.\u201d Also included is \u201cI Know Where the Summer Goes,\u201d from the 1998 This Is Just a Modern Rock Song<\/em> EP and the incredibly rare \u201cSafety Valve.\u201d \u201cThat one\u2019s ancient,\u201d Murdoch says of the latter. \u201cIt predates the band; it\u2019s 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

The band kicks off a summer tour tomorrow in Sheffield, England. They\u2019ll hit the U.S. on July 10th at New York\u2019s Brooklyn Steel, playing major cities across the country including Boston\u2019s House of Blues on July 13th and Chicago\u2019s Pitchfork Festival<\/a> on July 20th, where they\u2019ll play If You\u2019re Feeling Sinister<\/em> in its entirety.<\/p>\n
