The Life Pursuit

"If you happen to be going to one of our UK shows AND you happen to stumble over our LP somewhere on the net, you MAY have a listen...we wouldn't want you to arrive COMPLETELY underprepared! You'll want to own it when it comes out anyway. Won't you?"
So says the Belle and Sebastian website. Well I did happen to stumble across it and I have listened to it a lot and you know they're right I do want to own a copy of it because it's bloody great. In all good record shops(and probably some bad ones too) next Monday (Feb 6th).
Didn't think they could top Dear Catastrophe Waitress but by jove I think they've done it.

Looking through my fave songs list of last year it's noticeable that a few of them come from Scandinavia, so visiting Denmark over Christmas and the new year it was nice to experience some of those songs in their natural habitat.
So, The Cardigans were heard soundtracking a mobile phone advert on Swedish TV, Annie was singing in a Copenhagen clothes shop, Junior Senior were performing top tune 'Take My Time' at the Danish equivalent of the Sports Personality of the Year awards and the local radio station where we were staying played both the aforementioned Junior Senior track and Robyn's spiffy 'Be Mine' in the space of an hour.
Truly pop nirvana.
