BELLE AND SEBASTIAN ILLUSTRATED LYRICS - STUART...

A beautiful collaboration between Belle and Sebastian frontman Stuart Murdoch and illustrator
Pamela Tait  a unique visual reinterpretation of Murdoch's favourite songs. From the imagined
lives of the passengers riding Glasgow buses in the early 1990s to questions raised about the
status quo and musings on the meaning of religion  Stuart Murdoch  frontman of Scottish indie
pop band Belle and Sebastian  has written some of the most captivating lyrics of the past two
decades. Belle and Sebastian recorded their first critically acclaimed album Tigermilk in three
days  played a sold-out show at the Hollywood Bowl with the LA Philharmonic  and famously
forgot their drummer  dressed in his pyjamas  outside a Walmart. Their songs have animated many
film soundtracks  developing a cult following that has helped to define the sound of indie
music as we know it today. The first book in the 'Illustrated Lyrics' series combines the words
selected from over twenty-four years of Belle and Sebastian songs with specially commissioned
illustrations from Scottish artist Pamela Tait  whose intricate and whimsical character
illustrations Stuart Murdoch stumbled upon and fell in love with when he rediscovered old fan
mail Pamela had sent to him over a decade ago. Set with expressive typography  this is an
exceptional publication that will seduce even the most devoted fans to ?see' these wonderful
songs afresh.
