详细介绍:
Stuart Murdoch and his mates in Glasgow%27s long-running pop auteurs Belle and Sebastian sound more jubilant today than ever. In 2021, after 26 years and 11 albums together, COVID forced Murdoch (vocals, guitar) along with original members, Stevie Jackson (guitar), Sarah Martin (vocals, violin), Chris Geddes (keyboards) and Richard Colburn (drums) as well as relatively new additions Bobby Kildea (guitar) and Dave McGowan (guitar, bass) to stay home in Scotland and record a new album. Some songs turned into A Bit of Previous, released in May 2022, and another album%27s worth of music from those fertile sessions has now become Late Developers. Far from being an odds and sods collection, these 11 tracks are an equally rich lode of Belle and Sebastian exploring pop music%27s prismatic spectrum. Echoes of the band%27s folkier past appear in Will I Tell You a Secret, where a harpsichord effect on the keyboard gives the tune a 1960s chamber pop flavor. With horns, backing vocals and the pace of a classic R&B ballad The Evening Star changes the focus to Motown with a dash of Memphis soul snap. Gush is the emotional response that comes to mind when the handclaps, chiming guitars and luscious vocal harmonies of Give A Little Time’ make their case: Speculate, accumulate/ Embrace the love, erase the hate. But not all the words here ignore the more jagged aspects of the emotional inner life that has always been Belle and Sebastian%27s constant subject. In the sweet and sour vein of what their official bio calls coaxing you towards inner peace with … a melody that lifts you out of the murk of all that terrifying truth, the very Smiths-esque When We Were Very Young finds Murdoch, who now has kids and dystopia, lamenting against a perky melody: I wish I could be content/ With the football scores/ I wish I could be content with my daily chores/ With my daily worship of the sublime/ I wish I could walk away/ From my scars and sores. Produced by the band and Brian McNeill with help from a quartet of mixers, the result is bright, full, and in-your-face. The cleverly titled Late Developers is filled with joy and now the wisdom of age; Belle and Sebastian continue to make smart, stylish pop music look easy. © Robert Baird/Qobuz
