Belle and Sebastian have released “If They’re Shooting At You,” a new charity single that pledges support for individuals affected by the ongoing conflict in Ukraine
He continued, “We got in touch with various photographers and creatives in Ukraine and they generously said that we could put their pictures to music. In creating this we aspire to show a hopeful, defiant side, as well as bringing an awareness to the plight of the people there. We think any way in which we can get behind Ukraine — politically, culturally, practically, spiritually — it must all add up in the end. Together we have to do what it takes to help Ukraine beat this tyranny.
Belle And Sebastian have pledged all income from the song — including streaming and digital sales, as well as publishing royalties —. Donations made via Bandcamp until March 18 will be matched by the U.K. government as part of the joint appeal with the Disasters Emergency Committee. An option to donate directly is also available with the song on streaming platforms.

We are all Ukrainian now.”, out May 6. The song was co-produced by the band and Shawn Everett. The indie stalwarts are set to hit the road across the U.S. starting in late May.
