Artist Belle & Sebastian
Title The BBC Sessions
Label Jeepster
This is incredible. A 2 CD set of Belle & Sebastian capturing the sweet and endearing sound of one of the best indie pop bands of our time . Disc 1 contains a load of BBC sessions and disc 2 is a live recording of a gig in Belfast from 2001. As big fans of the band, we deem this as an essential purchase yet it also makes for a great introduction and overview for any newcomers.

Artist Beta Band
Title Music : The Best of the Beta Band
Label Parlophone
’Music’ is a collection of songs by The Beta Band - one of the greatest, most influential and highly-regarded bands of their generation. Hailing from Scotland, the group’s reputation for creating spaced-out folk rock has seen them compared with the likes of Super Furry Animals and Gorky’s Zygotic Mynci. Featuring classics such as ’Dry The Rain’, ’Inner Meet Me’ and ’Assessment’, this album displays Steve Mason and co. at their very best.

Artist Beth Jeans Houghton
Title Yours Truly, Cellophone Nose
Label Mute
"Yours Truly, Cellophane Nose" introduces one of the most self-assured new artists of the year, a pop polymath whose blend of psychedelia, glam rock and chain gang folk is quite unlike anything else you’re likely to hear this year.

Having recorded the album without a record deal to ensure complete creative control, it will be released on Mute, the label described by Houghton as “The one that still believed in my record after everyone else had gone to the pub.” Now ready for release, Beth sees the album as “an animal I’m preparing to ride. Grooming it, feeding it, braiding its hair, and I feel that Ben Hillier (album producer) has built me a saddle that is both practical and comfortable to use.

Title Lights Out
Label Mute
With the strum of an acoustic guitar set against the fuzzed out chords of an electric guitar and the tones of a boy / girl vocal, the band announced their arrival in the summer of last year. Since then Kacey Underwood and Alice Costelloe have been making waves with their tales of teen angst and adult compromise.  Overall, these are songs which are structurally sparse yet emotively rich, sweet and seductive yet raw and jagged.
