Belle & Sebastian - Tiger Milk

A friend of mine once had a cat named sebastian. i thought it was an awesome if somewhat hilarious name for a cat. the cat was also deaf and we used to make jokes about it to my friend, who justifiably got upset whenever we did. I dont know why i thought making fun of a deaf cat was funny, i guess it just was. It was a cute cat though. anyway, i mention this because i think of that cat whenever i listen to belle & Sebastian. Their later albums were definetely more polished and stronger works but there is a pleasant simplicity to this their first release. Opener 'the state that i am in' is still probably my favourite B&S song. They're simple folky songs, think nick drake with a bit of sufjan and cat stevens.
