Amidst the rollercoaster that this year has been, the one thing that makes sense is Belle & Sebastian’s return with an unquestionably well-built album ‘What to Look for in Summer’ that shows how the indie band has not yet forgotten of lending a good time to their fans. Their tonic remains intact, with stellar delicate tunes and intimate, majestic sound that is largely influenced by 60s pop and folk-rock. The latest double album encompasses several gigs that they performed throughout 2019 and other areas of their career. The collection is warmly supplemented by impressive strings, bass, and a woodwind throughout, precisely reminding of the greatness of the band.
The album is a sure shot reflection of how the band has evolved over the years from a delicate indie band to a powerhouse creator. For more than twenty-four years, the band has been known to compose personal music, deeply intimate, that helps them to create a direct connection with their groups and fans. The latest album comprises twenty-three spectacular songs that are widely diverse. Fans will be thrilled to find some of their folky duet compositions being added to the collection, reminding all that they have been missing out. It has a refreshing polish and has an extensive detailing.
‘What to Look for in Summer’ comprises of songs like ‘The Song of the Clyde’, ‘Dirty Dream Number Two’, ‘Step into My Office, Baby’, and ‘We Were Beautiful’ that shows the Scottish indie-pop band has finally paid attention to their long-standing request. Their performance is notably well-rounded and lively, as it always is during their live performances. Perhaps it is the best time to enjoy the release as Belle & Sebastian takes you on a ride back to the joyful, fun, and care-free existence with their enchanting musicality.
