How serious this group presented itself in its first phase! A band that started out as an art school experiment by chance developed into a veritable Smiths substitute for a poetic and timid indie youth in the second half of the 90s. The change of course took place in 2003, when Belle And Sebastian won the 80s sound provider Trevor Horn as producer and opened up both musically and personally.

Even in this second phase, which continues to this day, the band continues to write springy, sad indie folk songs. But there are also disco and pop, soul and glam – in short: the albums and concerts have been like revues ever since. silliness included. This also applies to A BIT PREVIOUS, the first normal studio album in seven years, the band has released a soundtrack and an EP trilogy in between.
In the video for the compact, familiar-sounding single “Unnecessary Drama”, Belle And Sebastian present themselves as a group undergoing band therapy. The self-mockery seems carefree – but is that what you hope for from this band? Then there’s that sad fiddle on “Young And Stupid” and the poetic wisdom of “Do It For The Country,” a track in the spirit of the early, life-saving LPs and EPs. But you can also hear Electro-Pop, Country and Boogie-Woogie, played as super-smart, upscale entertainment music. Nevertheless: Another Belle And Sebastian album below value
