Bellevue is the third studio album by American rock band the Bobby Lees, released on October 7, 2022 through Ipecac Recordings.
Background Bellevue followed the release of the Bobby Lees’ second studio album, Skin Suit (2020), and marked the band’s first release for Ipecac Recordings. The group signed to the label after Henry Rollins shared the band's recordings with Ipecac representatives, leading to their inclusion on the roster.
The album’s material was written during a period of transition for the band, with vocalist and guitarist Sam Quartin drawing on personal experiences that included mental health struggles and sobriety. In interviews, Quartin stated that the songs were written without a fixed conceptual plan, instead emerging organically over time. She later said she felt more satisfied with Bellevue overall than the band’s previous albums.
