First released in 1996, swiftly following Belle and Sebastian’s debut album Tigermilk, If You’re Feeling Sinister – hailed by The Guardian as ‘subtly poetic, wickedly funny and gorgeously melodic” – has long attained mythic status and is a regular feature of ‘greatest of all time’ lists.
In 2023, Belle and Sebastian released Late Developers, the second of two back-to-back albums following 2022’s A Bit of Previous. It is a full-hearted embrace of the band’s brightest tendencies that is not only fresh and immediate, but possessing that B&S je ne sais quoi.
Opening the show, Saint Etienne. Formed in 1990 in Croydon by Bob Stanley and Pete Wiggs, their debut single, a cover of Neil Young’s Only Love Can Break Your Heart, quickly became a club anthem. Stanley and Wiggs were soon joined by lead singer Sarah Cracknell who made her debut on the group’s 1991 single Nothing Can Stop Us and the same year’s Mercury Music Prize-nominated debut LP Fox Base Alpha.
The group’s 13th album International, released last month, was rapturously received and saw them back in the UK Top 10.
