Belle and Sebastian, godfathers of "twee" that they are, wove their Scottish magic all through this 1996 album. Ironically, between its quirky melodies and Stuart Murdoch's delicate vocals, If You're Feeling Sinister feels about as sinister as a basket of kittens. However, beneath these precious-sounding tunes lie very witty and sometimes subversive lyrics.A good choice if you like: songs that reveal a little more with each listen; to hear a guy sing with a cool accent; Camera Obscura (whose debut album happened to be produced by Murdoch).
Tracks to try: Seeing Other People, Like Dylan In the Movies, The Fox In the Snow, Judy and the Dream of Horses
