Summary: | Written almost entirely by frontman Stuart Murdoch, this sixth album is a magnificently assured and diverse pop record that mingles their folksy early work with joyfully satirical late 60's sunshine pop and their sophisticated 80's-influenced work. "Belle and Sebastian are brilliant at pairing heart-tugging melodies with perfectly turned lyrics that favor kiss-offs over come-ons."--Rolling Stone. "There is upbeat confidence from the start, as the band explores funkier, glammier material."--Billboard Magazine. "The Scots get all cute and whimsical for their seventhCD, a celebration of sunshine pop."--Entertainment Weekly.
