Vinyl love: Belle And Sebastian “If you’re feeling sinister”

(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: If you’re feeling sinister
Year released: 1996
Year reissued: 2014
Details: black vinyl, 180 gram, gatefold sleeve


The skinny: The second album by the critically-acclaimed Scottish indie pop collective was released a mere five months after its predecessor. It’s a collection of 10 tracks that are innocent and peppy in sound but dark and cynical in subject matter.

Standout track: “If you’re feeling sinister”

The skinny: The third and final album by the London-based, indie pop quartet, Allo Darlin’, led by Australian-born, Elizabeth Morris. Wistful and sad but at the same time, full of sunshine and happiness, the world has a great source of lovely music here.

Vinyl love: Allo Darlin’ “Europe”

(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: Allo Darlin’
Album Title: Europe
Year released: 2012
Details: black vinyl, normal weight

The skinny: The second album by the London-based, indie pop quartet, Allo Darlin’, led by Australian-born, Elizabeth Morris. Flirts with the cute, twee pop of the mid-80s, sporting a jangly guitar and a healthy strum of the uke.

Standout track: “Tallulah”
