BELLE & SEBASTIAN – “IF YOU ARE FEELING SINISTER (25th ANNIVERSARY EDITION)” (BLACK FRIDAY 2021) //Jeepster// (Released 26th November)

Description

£28.99 – 1xLP, Limited Edition Red Gatefold Vinyl

The classic second album from 1997 originally on Jeepster. If you buy one Belle and Sebastian album then this is it. Led by Stuart Murdoch, Belle and Sebastian offer up a largely acoustic folk-pop sound with deep roots in the ’60s. Their guitar-and-piano arrangements are often filled out by luxurious trumpets and strings, but the clever, sardonic lyrics keep things from ever getting too mushy. The bright, irresistible pop melodies stand in sharp contrast to decidedly downbeat lyrics that recall Morrissey at his sharpest. Timeless, gorgeous and just cool enough to avoid a mainstream breakthrough. Whimsy and preciousness is an integral part of If You’re Feeling Sinister, along with clever wit and gentle, intricate arrangements – a wonderful blend of the Smiths and Simon and Garfunkel, to be reductive.

Tracklisting:

The stars of track and field
Seeing other people
Me and the major
Like dylan in the movies
The fox in the snow
Get me away from here, i’m dying
If you’re feeling sinister
Mayfly
The boy done wrong again
Judy and the dream of horses
