Belle and Sebastian Essentials

Belle and Sebastian Essentials

This Glasgow band have been serving up some of indie pop's most whimsical and witty tales since the mid-'90s. Led by Stuart Murdoch—whose delicate quivers reveal a bookish yet wistful romantic—the collective has evolved over the years, mastering the warm, acoustic feel of The Velvet Underground on "The State I'm In", colouring rich chamber pop with psychedelic shades on "Wrapped Up in Books" and trying out dizzying electro-disco on "The Party Line". No matter their experimental whim, the band's signature blend of cosy retro-pop and biting lyrical wit remains their greatest charm.
