La vie, est belle

Scottish indie-folk outfit and critical darlings Belle and Sebastian are launching a new tour this summer, in support of their first record seven years, A Bit Of Previous! Rarely on the road, don't miss your chance to catch their twinkling melodies and lyrics, underscored with a magnetic mix of whimsy and melancholy.

Formed in Glasgow in 1996, Belle and Sebastian have always been fine purveyors of beauty and biting honesty. Coming to mainstream attention with their 1998 album The Boy With The Arab Strap, they have steadily churned out acclaimed efforts ever since, becoming an icon of gentle indie coolness and creativity.
