Belle & Sebastian are one of the most cherished and celebrated UK acts of recent decades. They have released 11 critically acclaimed albums including the epoch defining Tigermilk, If You’re Feeling Sinister and The Boy With The Arab Strap and many classic EPs and singles, including most recently the How To Solve Our Human Problems trilogy. Triumphing against the odds to win best newcomer at the 1999 BRIT awards, being one of the first bands to curate their own festival, having their songs strewn across the landscape of popular culture everywhere from High Fidelity to Gilmore Girls and The Devil Wears Prada, and instigating a Twitter petition to get their drummer to a gig after accidentally leaving him in his pajamas in a Walmart in North Dakota – Belle & Sebastian have defined the spirit of DIY in a career where the only constant has been innovation and individuality.
