If You’re Feeling Sinister

Belle and Sebastian

Literate, hushed indie pop that feels like a shared secret. Acoustic guitars and bright trumpets frame intimate stories of teenage rebels and lonely intellectuals.

November 18, 1996 · Toshiba EMI Ltd

A gentle, literate exploration of youthful isolation and the comfort found in stories.

Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden burst of triumphant brass that lifts the melancholic fog of the title track
The intimate intake of breath before the first line of The Fox in the Snow
The way the acoustic strumming accelerates into a playful gallop on Me and the Major
