From the manufacturer

People tend to presume this is our cheeky way of re-writing Matador’s storied past to make it even more (ahem) storied. To somehow portray ourselves or the recording artists in some glamorous or outlandish fashion. You know, the time Jon Spencer slept with a Cadillac. Johan had 4 slices of pizza before 11:30 am, that kind of thing.

Suffice to say, we’re counting on the general population — old and young — being as brain-scrambled as we are, and even if they’re not, we’re confident that our catalog campaign and accompanying commissioned visuals from ‘Eat To Survive’ auteur Jeff Mahannah are powerful enough to do a Chris Nolan memory-wipe / reset.

Product description

2014 vinyl LP reissue of their 1996 masterpiece, with download code. Repackaged in a resealable Mylar bag with customized obi strip. Sophomore slump be damned! Belle & Sebastian's 2nd album, "If You're Feeling Sinister," is a arguably their very best. Folk-pop with a biting sense of humor made it a sonically and lyrically engaging favorite of college listeners. This is also the album that brought the Scottish band fame in the U.K. and the U.S. The original vinyl pressings are treasured by collectors, but now everybody can get the vinyl version with this repressing. The 10 songs include "The Stars of Track and Field," "Seeing Other People," "Me and the Major," "Like Dylan in the Movies," "The Fox in the Snow," "Get Me Waya from Here, I'm Dying," the title cut, "Mayfly," "The Boy Done Wrong, Again," and "Judy and the Dream of Horses."

When this hit the shops in Glasgow it flew off the shelves, the previous e.p offerings, often qued up for on release dates, no really!! were a big hit on the west coast so expectataions were high. They delivered in every way as 'Sinister' is just the biz, great tunes, and melodies, sparse but perfect woozy chamber pop arrangements plus pithy one liners that still hit the spot today. Recorded in five days, from rehearsals in a Parish church that Stu was the caretaker of in late 96, the end result is for me a slice of Glasgow at that time. The whole thing has a classic 60's vibe, with a low key punk ethos and spiky narratives that make it timeless in my humble view. Ten slices of life in all it's sentimental nostalgic bliss, a wonderful album that I've smiled at every time I play it. Maybe their best album ever?

Deuxième album dans la lignée du premier album Tigermilk. Aussi bon si ce n'est encore meilleur dans lequel les titres pop de qualité s'enchaine sans fausse note. Une réussite
