bar italia - "Jelsy"

October 10th, 2023 at 9:25 am by Malcolm



Pre-order 'The Twits' / Stream "Jelsy"

bar italia have released new single and video “Jelsy”, taken from their forthcoming second full length of 2023, ‘The Twits’, out November 3rd. Led by the group’s three-way vocal dynamic, “Jelsy” plays out like a conversation between friends over over wistful, buzzing country blues, the alternating voices at points comforting, wry and hopelessly yearning.



Additionally, bar italia have announced a group show of drawings to take place October 27th at the Frieze exhibition space at No.9 Cork Street, with the public view at 6pm-8pm.

Later today, the band will perform live in session on BBC 6 Music’s New Music Fix Daily show which airs between 7-9pm BST.

Belle & Sebastian - Mary Anne Hobbs - BBC 6 Music Session

September 17th, 2019 at 11:06 am by Josh



Fresh off the back of the worldwide release of their new original soundtrack release 'Days of the Bagnold Summer', Belle and Sebastian were invited to perform a live session for Mary Anne Hobbs at BBC 6 Music yesterday.

The band contributed a live version of their uptempo recent single 'Sister Buddha', along with a rendition of 'I Know Where The Summer Goes', before chatting with Mary Anne about the new record and their adolescent penchants for Megadeth and Anthrax.

Listen back to the session in full here (1:35:33)
