Vinyl love: Belle And Sebastian “Girls in peacetime want to dance”

(Vinyl Love is a series of posts that quite simply lists, describes, and displays the pieces in my growing vinyl collection. You can bet that each record was given a spin during the drafting of each corresponding post.)

Artist: Belle And Sebastian
Album Title: Girls in peacetime want to dance
Year released: 2015
Details: black vinyl, 2 x LP, gatefold sleeve

The skinny: The Glasgow-based indie pop collective returned after five years with album number nine and to my ears, it’s their best in a decade. It’s fresh and rejuvenated and shows that Stuart Murdoch hasn’t quite found the end of his tether yet.

Standout track: “The party line”

Vinyl love: Belle And Sebastian “Dear catastrophe waitress”

(Vinyl Love is a series of posts that quite simply lists, describes, and displays the pieces in my growing vinyl collection. You can bet that each record was given a spin during the drafting of each corresponding post.)

Artist: Belle And Sebastian
Album Title: Dear catastrophe waitress
Year released: 2003
Year reissued: 2014
Details: black vinyl, 2 x LP, 150 gram, gatefold sleeve

The skinny: This, the Glasgow-based indie pop collective’s sixth long player, was their first for Rough Trade. It featured a more produced sound, real, honest-to-goodness singles, and a 70s throwback and sometimes glam rock, sound.

Standout track: “Step into my office, baby”

Vinyl love: Belle And Sebastian “The boy with the arab strap”

(Vinyl Love is a series of posts that quite simply lists, describes, and displays the pieces in my growing vinyl collection. You can bet that each record was given a spin during the drafting of each corresponding post.)

Artist: Belle And Sebastian
Album Title: The boy with the arab strap
Year released: 1998
Year reissued: 2014
Details: black vinyl, 150 gram, gatefold sleeve

The skinny: On their third album, the Glasgow-based indie pop collective upped the beat some, resulting in a couple of danceable numbers, including the incredible title track. This is perhaps my favourite B&S LP.
