When one thinks of veteran Scottish band Belle &

Sebastian, one doesnt usually think about dancing, but

thats exactly what we get in The Party Line, the video
for the first single from their new album, Girls in
Peacetime Want to Dance, due out on Jan. 20 on Matador.
The clip, directed by the Canadian duo Leblanc +
Cudmore, who have lensed videos for Stephen Malkmus
& the Jicks and F*cked Up, begins in black and white,
giving it a slightly nostalgic feel that contrasts with the
bands new, updated dance floor-ready sound.
Theres no lame white-boy new wave dancing here, but
rather some spectacularly choreographed scenes
