Scottish indie stars Belle and Sebastian have signed a new publishing deal with Snow Patrol’s publishing business, Polar Patrol Publishing.
The band has inked a deal with the company for their forthcoming ninth album, due later this year via the Matador record label.
The relationship between the two bands stretches back the best part of two decades after they were both signed to Jeepster Records.
Gary Lightbody from Snow Patrol said: ‘We couldn’t be happier about signing Belle and Sebastian. We have known them for nearly twenty years as they were signed to Jeepster Records the same time we were in the mid-nineties.
‘They are an extraordinary band, who not only write great, enduring songs, but have over many years woven magic and wonder into tales of ordinary life. And in the time of Twitter when it seems every detail of every life is up there for all to see they somehow retain an element of rare and alluring mystery.’
Johnny McDaid, Here We Go Magic, Kidda, Luke Temple and Gita Harcourt are among the other artists and songwriters published by the business.
Polar Patrol Publishing is administered by Kobalt.
