Scottish indie pop legends Belle & Sebastian have shared another track from their upcoming album Girls in Peacetime Want to Dance, titled "The Cat with the Cream," which you can check out below. Although the previous songs that have been shared so far from the album have been pretty upbeat and fun, "The Cat with the Cream" is far more dramatic and low-key, with a prominent string section and almost no percussion other than a steady kick drum. The lyrics are also more political than we're used to hearing from frontman Stuart Murdoch, with lines about Tories and the boom/bust nature of capitalist economies.

"The Cat with the Cream" is the third song to be shared from Girls in Peacetime Want to Dance, following "The Party Line" and "Nobody's Empire," both of which were given music videos. Girls in Peacetime Want to Dance is set for release on Jan. 20 in North America (Jan. 19 in Europe) through Matador Reords, and is Belle & Sebastian's ninth studio album, their first since 2010's Write About Love. It will also be their first album overall since their 2013 b-sides and rarities compilation The Third Eye Centre. You can pre-order the album right here.
