Belle & Sebastian – If You’re Feeling Sinister
If You’re Feeling Sinister is the album that made me really interested in Belle & Sebastian and twee. They are really cynical and sarcastic and good for if you want feel life is not worth living but to silly to end it. The music does not say anything like that but the soft and gentle touch of the vocals and the swishy guitar is polite and feminine but the lyrics are bitter and jaded like the winds of Scotland and England where these chaps are from. I did not like this album at first and did not understand the liking of Belle & Sebastian from the cools. It must have taken me many times of a suffering of a listen to get real intention of this music. I have to say if your not already jaded don’t even pick up this band because it’s like a schooling in the life of the misused and unappreciated. Real emo is this, and this hard to make any harder or brutal. Metal might be angry and violent but this twee is some of a different kind of monster. The characters are bookworms too afraid to speak or trendy pretty boys who use and lie for fun or women who are too pretty for their own good and others you might know. “When your legs are black and blue it’s time to take a holiday, it’s not as if they are paying you”
