Fold Your Hands Child, You Walk Like a Peasant

Belle and Sebastian

Lush chamber pop arrangements and democratic vocal duties define this literate, autumnal collection of character studies and soft-focus melodies.

It's like a collection of short stories set to the sound of a very polite chamber orchestra.

A sophisticated, autumnal collection of stories that balances gentle warmth with a persistent, quiet melancholy.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The somber, military-style snare and haunting acoustic strumming that opens I Fought in a War.
The transition to Isobel Campbell's ethereal lead vocal on Family Tree, shifting the album's perspective.
The sudden, bright burst of soul-influenced brass and handclaps on the closing track There's Too Much Love.
