I’ve probably planned to get into Belle and Sebastian on at least their last 3 releases but I just never got round to it. This one, however, could well become the soundtrack to my year. Having listened to it about 10 times over (and it shows no signs of leaving my iPod), I cannot wait to get into their back catalogue.

I’m one of those people who, if I really love an artist, I tend to adore the first thing I hear by them more than anything else, so I’m probably being a little overpraising here by the simple fact that this is my first time … but I don’t care. This is one of my favourite albums of 2006, every track perfect and most importantly, it all works as one work, and there are so few albums that do that these days. Favourite track is “Funny Little Frog” but the more I listen to it, the more I find to love.
