A bit of previous

"Forsanger og sangskriver Stuart Murdoch har stadig en utrolig evne til at sætte præcise rørende portrætter af outsidere op som på albumafslutteren 'Working Boy in New York', men helt generelt er der gået lidt fabrik i bandet ... Albummet har nogle mangler i form af mindeværdige sange ... et album, der i glimt funkler og på mange måder rammer plet med temaer om at blive ældre, men det mangler fordums tyngde. Det bliver til tre store stjerner, mens vi venter på det store kunstneriske comeback".

"If A Bit of Previous may seem a bit precious in its exact arrangements, then so be it. The definition of radio-ready music has changed significantly over the decades, and given what we're left with, that's not necessarily such a good thing. Programmers take note: A Bit of Previous provides the perfect means of pumping up a playlist".

"The Scottish band's first studio album in seven years considers the importance of togetherness with clear, aphoristic language and a few musical experiments".

"'A Bit of Previous' takes its album title from the Buddhist notion of reincarnation - that you may already have 'previous' with people you meet - and there's a similarly comforting familiarity to the album. All of the well-worn Belle and Sebastian hallmarks are present, but what's truly impressive is how effortless it all sounds this time around".

"'A Bit of Previous' er et dejligt livstegn fra en af verdens bedste alternative popgrupper. Selv om den excentriske fortælleiver hos skotske Belle and Sebastian er hørt mere skarpsleben - og musikken sine steder er vel magelig".

"Det nye album med Belle & Sebastian er ikke de skotske veteraners største stund, men for musikalske melankolikere er der stadig guld at finde".
