THE JAM PIECE

Belle and Sebastian are a Scottish indie pop band formed in Glasgow in January 1996. Led by Stuart Murdoch, they've released 9 albums. They are often compared with acts such as Nick Drake.[1][2] The name "Belle and Sebastian" comes fromBelle et Sébastien, a 1965 children's book by French writer Cécile Aubry later adapted for television. Though consistently lauded by critics,[3][4] Belle and Sebastian's "wistful pop"[5] has enjoyed only limited commercial success.[3]

After releasing a number of albums and EPs on Jeepster Records, they are now signed to Rough Trade Records in the United Kingdom and Matador Records in the United States.
