Belle and Sebastian

Belle and Sebastian are a Scottish indie pop band that formed in 1994 in Glasgow, Scotland. Led by guitarist/vocalist Stuart Murdoch, the seven-piece band have an intimate, majestic sound that is equal parts folk-rock and '60s pop. Murdoch has a gift not only for whimsy and surrealism, but also for odd, unsettling lyrical detail which keeps the songs grounded in a tangible reality. Belle and Sebastian released their first two albums in 1996: Tigermilk
