^{BELLE AND SEBASTIAN- Dear Catastrophe Waitress}
Are we too old for twee? Has such cuteness in pop run its cultural course? Does it make sense anymore? That 90s innocence is long gone, surrendered to the uncertainty of the 00s. Also, people change and grow as they age, exploring new ideas and directions. For example, some turn to the big 80s production prowess of ex-Buggles vocalist Trevor Horn, best known for his work with Frankie Goes to Hollywood. He’s also responsible for that contemporary Russian faux-lesbian pop duo t.A.t.U. All this is true! Such otherwise inexplicable changes and choices are bewildering except if conducted by Belle and Sebastian, renowned for their dry humor and gentle pop adventurousness. The result of this unpredictable meeting sounds kind of like ABC, except played by Belle and Sebastian. Thus, a little jingle jangle and folkie strum amidst the clean 80s subtext vibe. Enticed? Boy do Belle and Sebastian love to challenge their leagues of fans, keeping them guessing with ambiguous cover images and aesthetical whimsy! In any case, this is so long-awaited it could be a collection of field hollers by the band and we’d still all be as excited as we are. Show us what you’ve got this time, Belle and Sebastian.
