albums of the decade - 53. Belle and Sebastian - The Life Persuit


53. Belle and Sebastian - The Life Persuit (2006)

I'm going to use my words from 2006 that I wrote in my Livejournal blog for this:

"The sixth LP from this Scottish collective isn't as unashamedly twee as their previous efforts, yet is still as innocent sounding as when they bizarrely collected a Brit Award at the start of the decade for Best Newcomer. Gaze at the cover, and the fact that The Life Persuit is by the band suggests that it inspires to accompany a play set in the West End - see the luscious closer 'Mornington Crescent' (despite this tube stop being in North London!) for living proof. If you've ever experienced those timeless college days where you dawdle to class, sleep through a seminar and drink ridiculous amounts of coffee & beer, and experience utter freedom then this LP is yours. Timeless."
