About this product
4 LP Box Set with extended album mixes, bonus tracks and a poster. GIRLS IN PEACETIME WANT TO DANCE is the longawaited follow-up to 2010's WRITE ABOUT LOVE. Produced and mixed at Maze Studios in Atlanta by Ben H. Allen III, best known for his work with Gnarls Barkley, Animal Collective, and Raury, among others, the band - who have been listening to things like vintage Detroit techno and Giorgio Moroder - have brought a danceparty element into their gorgeous tales of sensitive souls navigating a world gone awry. It is perhaps the most inspired and wide-reaching album Belle and Sebastian have ever made. Given that band leader Stuart Murdoch has openly declared himself pro-bubblegum before, it shouldn't come as a surprise that 'Enter Sylvia Plath', 'The Book of You' and 'Play for Today' have keyboard hooks that recall Scandinavian pop machines past and present. The filmic loves, kitchen sink imagery and baroque touches are still there, too, don't worry. It's all about trusting in the restorative power of pop music. If you'd trust anyone to write a great Europop song about Sylvia Plath, you'd trust Belle & Sebastian.

2014 vinyl LP reissue of their 1996 masterpiece, with download code. Repackaged in a resealable Mylar bag with customized obi strip. Sophomore slump be damned! Belle & Sebastian's 2nd album, InchIf You're Feeling Sinister,Inch is a arguably their very best. Folk-pop with a biting sense of humor made it a sonically and lyrically engaging favorite of college listeners. This is also the album that brought the Scottish band fame in the U.K. and the U.S. The original vinyl pressings are treasured by collectors, but now everybody can get the vinyl version with this repressing. The 10 songs include InchThe Stars of Track and Field,Inch InchSeeing Other People,Inch InchMe and the Major,Inch InchLike Dylan in the Movies,Inch InchThe Fox in the Snow,Inch InchGet Me Waya from Here, I'm Dying,Inch the title cut, InchMayfly,Inch InchThe Boy Done Wrong, Again,Inch and InchJudy and the Dream of Horses.Inch

A Bit of Previous is a classic Belle and Sebastian album preoccupied with songs and melodies that won't leave your head and lyrics that can make you smile and ponder and sometimes be melancholic. It's an album self-produced and recorded by Belle and Sebastian (with contributions from Brian McNeil, Matt Wiggins, Kevin Burleigh and Shawn Everett) and their most hands-on since The Boy With The Arab Strap. So what is a A Bit of Previous? It's a bit of everything, and a lot of what makes Belle and Sebastian so special and enduring. It's a band tackling the in- sight, experience and responsibility that come with getting older with humour and irreverence and lyrical exactitude and musical bravado. It's one of the UK's most beloved pop portraitists asserting themselves as an infallible source of energy and fun.

Limited LP Box set. A new Belle and Sebastian is always something to cheer. So three new releases leads to the inevitable conclusion three cheers! Here is the latest installment in a career that has always pursued a singular and delightful vision of what pop represents and what it can achieve, a career that has seen them triumph against the odds to win a Brit award, be one of the first bands to curate their own festival, and play at the official London residence of the US ambassador (the last president's ambassador, not the current one's). Murdoch, as ever, is not the only writer. Sarah Martin (violin/vocals) brought in the delicious 'The Same Star', which marries Belle and Sebastian's melodiousness to a pounding Motown backbeat, and was produced by Leo Abrahams (Ghostpoet, Wild Beasts, Regina Spektor). InchWe'd met Leo in February of 2016, and I'd say that meeting and the recording of 'I'll Be Your Pilot' were the first tangible steps of this EP project,Inch Martin says. InchWe didn't have a stack of songs to play him, but we liked him and he became a part of the plan from that point - and when I'd got to a point with 'The Same Star' where it just needed to be recorded, I thought it could benefit from having a producer to steer things, and fortunately we had a slot in the diary marked 'Leo' coming up. It's not a song we'd laboured over playing for months - it fell together quite quickly thanks in large part to Bob's [Bobby Kildea, guitarist] enthusiasm and Stuart's willingness to dismember an old song and repurpose the break, so that it wasn't just the same three chords over and over and over.Inch The Limited Edition box set also includes a poster with 80 photographs of fans from around the world.
