Rough Trade (label): “A classic Belle and Sebastian album preoccupied
with songs and melodies that won’t leave your head and lyrics that can make
you smile and ponder and sometimes be melancholic. The result is one the most
diverse, hands-on and thrilling entries in the bands catalogue, self-produced
and recorded.”

Lead-single: UNNECESSARY DRAMA

Murdoch: “The song is about a young person experimenting in being a human again after a forced hiatus. The person is weighing up whether or not it’s worth the mess! Still, you dip your toe in and it becomes delicious, and you get too much of it. Between trouble and nothing, we still choose the trouble.”

Vintage B & S. Swinging tune, upbeat pop-ular melody,
majestic chorus, a bit previous, compelling story.

Enjoy…
