01 July 2019, 12:04 | Written by Cerys Kenneally

Belle and Sebastian have announced their soundtrack for Days of the Bagnold Summer, alongside revealing the lead single "Sister Buddha".

The upcoming Days of the Bagnold Summer film is based on a 2012 graphic novel by Joff Winterhart, and will also be the directorial debut of Simon Bird (The Inbetweeners, Friday Night Dinner).

Belle and Sebastian are behind the soundtrack for the upcoming film, which will feature new songs like "Sister Buddha", as well as some re-recorded classics such as "Get Me Away From Here I'm Dying" and "I Know Where The Summer Goes".

Vocalist Stuart Murdoch reveals that "Sister Buddha" wasn't written for the film, "It just came from my present interest in Buddhism. Simon picked up on it, wanting to have something uplifting at the end of movie, and we were happy for him to have it."

Days of the Bagnold Summer is due to arrive in UK cinemas in 2020, and stars Rob Brydon (Gavin & Stacey, The Trip), Monica Dolan (Eye in the Sky, The Falling, Pride), Earl Cave (The End of the F***ing World), and more.

  1. Sister Buddha (Intro)
  2. I Know Where The Summer Goes
