As I was listening to Belle & Sebastian on my itunes shuffle one of my favorite songs came up again. "Pocketbook Angel" - a rare 90's take- showcases the youthful and melodic voice of Stuart Murdoch with the gloomy dance vibe of most B&S songs. The simple, yet friendly guitar sticks with you for the day (in the best way possible). Following the story of a man who continues to see a girl out on the street who writes down everything she sees in her little notebook. While all female listeners of this song would want to be that kooky object of Murdoch's affection, it is amazing to see even within this rough and short demo track, the semi-whimsical world of Belle and Sebastian characters immortalized in ironic and beautiful songs being created.
I'm also a huge fan of the quality of sound that seems like they recorded it in a bathtub.
maybe it looked something like this?
