How often over the years has a brash and much played Oasis release been shortly juxtaposed by a colourful and crafted offering from the Scottish soothers of B & S? In this instance, time changes nothing, as the Glaswegians calmly and in their inimitable free spirited manner, blur the boundaries of reality with such crisp and endearing rhythm that is cushioned by calming backing vocals.
The outfit’s endearing quirkiness that has become their signature over an impressive career comes through via Stuart Murdoch’s lyrical prowess;

“I am living up the life of a poet, I’m the jester in the ancient court; And you’re the funny little frog in my throat.�

Blazing horn interludes complete the picture of Belle & Sebastian’s renewed vigour that looks set to continue long into 2006, with the release new album ‘The Life Pursuit’ (2006) and a thrilling UK tour in January and February.
