Belle & Sebastian Release 'How to Solve Our Human Problems'

Belle & Sebastian Release Compilation CD How to Solve Our Human Problems & Limited Edition Vinyl Box Set Out February 16 on Matador/Rhythmethod

Belle and Sebastian have released their first instalment of their new triumvirate of EPs, How to Solve Our Human Problems and have presented a new video for 'I'll Be Your Pilot', the latest single taken from the EP series.

Directed by Michael Sherrington, the gently poetic video corresponds with the signature B&S artwork which accompanies the EPs, with a simple yet moving collage of individuals that echoes the spectrum of human emotion. Already on the BBC6 Music playlist as well as receiving spins from Jo Whiley at BBC 2, and described by NME as “B&S (doing) their gentle, hushed thing to perfection”, the gorgeously life-affirming song encapsulates the group’s hallmark attention to melody and imaginative lyricism, taking as its subject Stuart Murdoch’s young son.

Recalling their 1997 release of three consecutive EPs, How to Solve Our Human Problems, has the timeless blend of joy and melancholy and idiosyncratic spirit that has always characterised Belle and Sebastian. A double album’s worth of music – richly melodic, deliciously literate, as gentle as a summer stream but as insistent as a river – How to Solve Our Human Problems is both an era of its own, and part of a long, rich history.

The first instalment of How To Solve Our Human Problems is out now, with the second and third following on January 19th and February 16th, respectively. The EP trilogy will culminate with a compilation CD and a vinyl box set containing all three EPs, with the option of a box just for EP3 for those who have already purchased 1 and 2.
