Title: Belle & Sebastian
Post by: RichardNixon on May 29, 2006, 07:33:37 PM
Anyone here a fan? I am just getting into them. I just picked up their recent "The Life Pursuit" and it is fabulous. Kind of hard to explain their sound. Kind of folk-Beatles-esque alt. rock. A great band.  : ok:

they are a good band, but since i moved to glasgow i've had them shoved down my throat as the best thing since sliced bread so i kinda resent them.

I have only heard few songs.
Listenable, but maybe too weird for me..

They?re on Rough Trade, right?

real good band. i have friends that are into them BIG TIME.

a real good friend of mine is a musician with a similar sound. critics love him, but he has not had much commercial success. he has a similiar sound, but even better IMO. his name is Bill Ricchini. he's def worth checking out if you like this type of music.
