Belle and Sebastian: BeatCrave Fav

Without doubt, precious reader, you have heard of, and likely (at least) appreciate today’s BeatCrave Fav.  Remarkably however, not everyone knows about this fantastic group of seven Scotsmen (and women). Since 1996, Belle and Sebastian have managed to ride that delicate line of indie genius and mainstream overkill.  Their music has just enough whimsy and pop to be appreciated by a slew of demographics while simultaneously flying low enough on the radio airwaves to avoid over-exposure: the curse that kills some of the greatest indie acts.

With such enjoyably delicious songs as “White Collar Boy,” “The Fox in the Snow” and ”The Model” these Scots should have a place on everyone’s iPod.  And, with such fantastic albums as “If You’re Feeling Sinister,” The Boy With the Arab Strap” and “Storytelling” in their repertoire, Belle and Sebastian deserve all of the accolades placed upon them and, of course, our very own BeatCrave Fav love.
