Me and Stony have a mighty addiction to Belle & Sebastian. On those rough office mornings, there's nothing more soothing than a little Tigermilk. It's not the best way to convey the macho boss exterior (hit that mute button if an unexpected guest comes in), but it's that good that we'll risk taking on the looks from the Shipset. This is B&S's second album from 1996, generally considered their best album thus far (we have a pref for aforementioned Tigermilk). I'll leave a real music critic to breakdown the inner-workings of the album and the general bizzaro-ness of the band itself, here's a sampling (in an instance you will either love it or throw up a little in your mouth): "Seeing Other People," "The Fox in the Snow," "Get Me Away From Here," "Mayfly," etc. 10 tracks in all, red vinyl pressing housed in a gatefold sleeve.
