Description
The classic second album from 1997 originally on Jeepster. If you buy one Belle and Sebastian album then this is it.
Led by Stuart Murdoch, Belle and Sebastian offer up a largely acoustic folk-pop sound with deep roots in the '60s. Their guitar-and-piano arrangements are often filled out by luxurious trumpets and strings, but the clever, sardonic lyrics keep things from ever getting too mushy.
The bright, irresistible pop melodies stand in sharp contrast to decidedly downbeat lyrics that recall Morrissey at his sharpest. Timeless, gorgeous and just cool enough to avoid a mainstream breakthrough.
Whimsy and preciousness is an integral part of 'If You're Feeling Sinister', along with clever wit and gentle, intricate arrangements - a wonderful blend of the Smiths and Simon and Garfunkel, to be reductive.

External Reviews
"This is a very poppy album, with some raw emotion that comes through in some very infectious melodies. The verses and choruses are so catchy and brilliant that it won't take you long to figure out why this album is so great. There isn't a song on this album that I don't like, but here are the ones I think of the most: 'Stars of Track and Field' is an amazing opener, 'If your feeling sinister' simply beautiful, 'Seeing Other People' catchy as hell, 'Judy and the Dream of Horses' makes me wheep it's so perfect, and 'Fox in the snow' has the same effect on me as 'Blue Velvet' has on Frank in Lynch's Blue Velvet. To sum this all up, this album ranks up there with a great Velvet Underground album, or a classic Dylan record. This album is a perfect achievement." - Google Review.
