Belle & Sebastian is an indie pop band that formed in Glasgow, Scotland in January 1996. The band is named after Belle Et Sébastien, a French novel about a boy (Sébastien) and his Pyrénées mountain dog (Belle). The novel became famous and a popular children's television series in France in the late 1960s, and then internationally in the early 1970s.
In October 2014 the band reissued all 11 of their releases, up to that point, under the series heading "The Jeepster Singles Collection", taken from the song with the same name that appeared on their album "Push Barman To Open Old Wounds".
Discover Belle & Sebastian's unique blend of indie pop music and immerse yourself in their enchanting melodies and heartfelt lyrics. With over two decades of creating beautiful music, they have become icons of the genre.

Rough Trade Essential

The classic second album from 1996 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.
