Belle and Sebastian helped define a generation of indie pop with their quietly radical sound. Considered pioneers of the twee pop genre, the band became known for their intricate, ’60s inspired arrangements.
With their charming, nostalgic sound characterised by frontman Stuart Murdoch’s introspective lyrics, the band offered an alternative to the bravado of Britpop.
Their second album, If You’re Feeling Sinister, has grown to become a cult favourite. With tracks like “Get Me Away From Here, I’m Dying,” “Seeing Other People,” and “Judy and the Dream of Horses,” the album received widespread praise from the likes of Pitchfork and The Guardian.
Rolling Stone also placed the album at No. 75 on their 100 Best Albums of the Nineties list and No. 481 on their 500 Greatest Albums of All Time list.
