Belle & Sebastian bassist Stuart David has left the critically acclaimed U.K. folk/pop act to devote more time to his side project, Looper. However, David will appear on Belle & Sebastian's as-yet-untitled fourth studio album, set for a fall release on Matador in the U.S. and Jeepster in the U.K.
Looper, which is in talks to tour the U.S. with the Flaming Lips this spring, will see a May 9 release for "The Geometrid," its second Sub Pop album.
