Any day I get to type the word “Glaswegian” into the ol’ CMS here at Tiny Mix Tapes is a good one, so I’m just pleased as a punch in the gut to tell you about Belle & Sebastian’s upcoming tour of the United States. The group, hailing from Glasgow, Scotland, is made up of several Glaswegians, because that’s what you call people from Glasgow, Scotland. The Glaswegians in the legendary indie pop group have been making Glaswegian style indie pop for over 20 years, and they’re showing no sign of stopping. In fact they’ve just released the third in a series of EPs entitled How to Solve Our Human Problems, and they’ve even shared a new video for the single “Poor Boy,” which you can view down below.
I bet you’re thinking that it can’t get any better or more Glaswegian, but I’m here to tell you that it can. Remember that tour I introduced in the first paragraph but then never provided details about? Well those dates are below! They’re currently traipsing across Europe and will join us non-Glaswegians here in the U.S. starting in June. Make way!
