"Step into my office baby Wanna give you the job A chance of overtime Say my place at nine..." He is one for a wry lyric that Stuart Murdoch, writes some fantastic songs he does... Perhaps one of Scotland's finest exports, alongside Mogwai, Jesus And Mary Chain, Teenage Fanclub and the delgados, Belle And Sebastian have been wowing audiences with their playful wit and joyous sense of the ridiculous for well over 20 years now. From debut album 'If Your Feeling Sinister' and the now legendary sophomore album 'Tigermilk', both released in 1996, Stuart, Isobel (Campbell) and a whole host of members former and present have been delighting music fans the world over with arch tales of love won and lost, quirky asides on simple pleasures and irreverent discourses on the pursuit of love. Recent releases have seen the band reinvent themselves to some extent, with a more 'dance' direction, wholly unexpected yet just as splendid, the signature B & S still present, that subtle, wry charm will always be there... This particular album, 'Dear Catastrophe Waitress' was released in 2003 via Rough Trade Records. Most of their previous albums were released on Jeepster Recordings, apart from Tigermilk, which came out through Electric Honey, although subsequent reissues were via Jeepster, as well as Matador etc... #BelleAndSebastian #DearCatastropheWaitress #indiepop #StuartMurdoch #IsobelCampbell #RoughTradeRecords #Scottishband #JeepsterRecordings #tweepop #Vinyladdict https://www.instagram.com/p/B7CN8_pHTwU/?igshid=c84mzs0v4qd0
