DESCRIPTION:
Their classic 2003 album available on double vinyl with gatefold and MP3 coupon. Includes the hit singles ""Step Into My Office Baby"" and ""Im A Cuckoo"". / For a band with such a modest homespun feel as Scottish cult heroes Belle and Sebastian the utilization of a big pop producer like Trevor Horn could easily have been a tragic mistake. Instead it proves to be a stroke of brilliance. Rather than doling out the kind of overblown mountains of sound hes heaped on artists like Seal and Frankie Goes To Hollywood Horn simply expands the B&S palette in a completely organic extremely effective manner. The arrangements are more fleshed-out than usual the textures more varied and the overall sound a bit more sprightly and sunny. All this is to the good however as the bands unerring melodic sensibility and gently quirky lyricism remain joyfully intact. The interaction of Belle and Sebastians trademark twisted-twee songcraft and the effervescence of Horns production makes DEAR CATASTROPHE WAITRESS one of the groups most instantly appealing albums. / Track Listing: / 1.
