Led by Stuart Murdoch, the band has released twelve studio albums.<ref name="a2x">Template:Citation</ref><ref name="grd">Template:Citation</ref> They are often compared with acts such as the Smiths<ref>Template:Citation</ref><ref>Template:Citation</ref> and Nick Drake.<ref name="a2x" /><ref name="grd" /> The band took their name from the 1965 television series Belle and Sebastian.
HistoryEdit
Formation, early years and Tigermilk (1994–1996)Edit
In 1994, Stuart Murdoch and Stuart David both enrolled at Stow College's Beatbox programme for unemployed musicians in Glasgow.<ref name="a2x" /> Together, with music professor Alan Rankine (formerly of the Associates), they recorded some demos, which in 1996 were picked up by the college's Music Business course that produces and releases one single each year on the college's label, Electric Honey. As Murdoch had a number of songs already and the label was extremely impressed with the demos, he was granted permission to record a full-length album, which was recorded mostly live over three days, entitled Tigermilk.
Murdoch and David recruited local musicians Stevie Jackson (guitar and vocals), Isobel Campbell (cello/vocals), Chris Geddes (keys) and Richard Colburn (drums), the latter of whom shared a flat with David and was a student on the Music Business course, to perform on the album, with Murdoch describing the process as a "product of botched capitalism".<ref name="a2x" /> The band chose the name Belle and Sebastian from a short story Murdoch had written inspired by the television series of the same name, about a six-year-old boy and his dog, named Belle, a Great Pyrenees.<ref name="grd" /><ref name="Rock Formations">Template:Citation</ref> In June 1996, Electric Honey pressed up one thousand copies of Tigermilk on vinyl.<ref name="grd" />
If You're Feeling Sinister and early EPs (1996–1998)Edit
The warm response Tigermilk received led to the band being signed to Jeepster Records in August 1996, who released their second album If You're Feeling Sinister on 18 November.<ref name="pbs">Template:Citation</ref> The album was named by Spin as one of the 100 greatest albums between 1985 and 2005,<ref>Template:Citation</ref> and it is widely considered the band's masterpiece.<ref name="notebook" /> Just before the recording of Sinister, Sarah Martin (violin/vocals) joined the band.
Following this a series of EPs were released throughout 1997.<ref>Template:Citation</ref> The first of these was Dog on Wheels, released in May and consisting of four demo tracks recorded prior to the real formation of the band. In fact, the only long-term band members to play on the songs were Murdoch, David, and Mick Cooke, who played trumpet on the EP but would not officially join the band until a few years later. It charted at No. 59 in the UK singles chart.<ref name="pbs" /> The Lazy Line Painter Jane EP followed in July. The track was recorded in the church where Murdoch lived<ref name="lim">Template:Citation</ref> and features vocals from Monica Queen. The EP narrowly missed out on the UK top 40, peaking at No. 41.<ref name="pbs" /> The last of the EPs was October's 3.. 6.. 9 Seconds of Light. The EP was made Single of the Week in both the NME and Melody Maker and reached No. 32 in the charts, thus becoming the band's first top 40 single.<ref name="pbs" />
Despite the band's growing popularity, during this period they kept a low profile at the insistence of Murdoch, who was still regaining his strength following years struggling with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). The band played gigs sporadically, rarely gave interviews, and refused to appear in publicity photographs, often getting friends and acquaintances to pose instead. The relative reclusiveness helped to create an aura of mystique around them.
The Boy with the Arab Strap, Fold Your Hands Child, You Walk Like a Peasant and Line-up Changes (1998–2003)Edit
{{#invoke:Listen|main}} The band released their third LP, The Boy with the Arab Strap in 1998, and it reached No. 12 in the UK charts.<ref>Template:Citation</ref> Arab Strap garnered an NPR interview<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> and positive reviews from Rolling Stone<ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref> and The Village Voice,<ref name="lim" /> and others; however, the album has its detractors,<ref>Template:Citation</ref> including Pitchfork, who gave the album a particularly poor review, calling it a "parody" of their earlier work (Pitchfork has since removed the review from their website and re-reviewed the album positively in 2018).<ref>Template:Citation</ref><ref>Template:Citation</ref> During the recording of the album, long-time studio trumpet-player Mick Cooke was asked to join the band as a full member.<ref name="rse">Template:Citation</ref> The This Is Just a Modern Rock Song EP followed later that year.<ref>Template:Citation</ref>
In 1999, the band was awarded with Best Newcomer (for their third album) at the BRIT Awards, upsetting better-known acts such as Steps and 5ive.<ref>Template:Citation</ref> That same year, the band hosted their own festival, the Bowlie Weekender. Tigermilk was also given a full release by Jeepster before the band started work on their next LP. The result was Fold Your Hands Child, You Walk Like a Peasant, which became the band's first top 10 album in the UK, though critics felt that the band were starting to stagnate.<ref name="pbs" /> A stand-alone single, "Legal Man", reached No. 15 and gave them their first appearance on Top of the Pops.<ref>Template:Citation</ref>
As the band's popularity and recognition was growing worldwide, their music began appearing in films and on television. The 2000 film High Fidelity mentions the band (with Jack Black's character referring to them as "old sad bastard music" and disdaining their soft style) and features a clip from the song "Seymour Stein" from The Boy with the Arab Strap.<ref>Template:Citation</ref> Two songs by the band ("Expectations" and "Piazza, New York Catcher") appeared on the soundtrack for the 2007 hit film Juno.<ref>Template:Citation</ref> Also, the title track from Arab Strap was played over the end credits of the UK television series Teachers,<ref>Template:Citation</ref> and the lyric "Colour my life with the chaos of trouble" from the song was quoted by one of the characters in the 2009 film (500) Days of Summer.
Stuart David soon left the band to concentrate on his side project, Looper, and his book writing, which included his The Idle Thoughts of a Daydreamer.<ref>Template:Citation</ref> He was replaced by Bobby Kildea of V-Twin. The "Jonathan David" single, sung by Stevie Jackson, was released in June 2001 and was followed by "I'm Waking Up to Us" in November, which saw the band use an outside producer (Mike Hurst) for the first time.<ref name="pop">Template:Citation</ref> Most of 2002 was spent touring and recording a soundtrack album, Storytelling (for Storytelling by Todd Solondz).<ref>Template:Citation</ref> Campbell left the band in the spring of 2002, in the middle of the band's North American tour to pursue a solo career, first as The Gentle Waves, and later under her own name. She later collaborated with singer Mark Lanegan on three albums.<ref>Template:Citation</ref><ref name="mtv">Template:Citation</ref>
Dear Catastrophe Waitress, The Life Pursuit and hiatus (2003–2010)Edit
The band left Jeepster in 2002, signing a four-album deal with Rough Trade Records.<ref name="dcw">Template:Citation</ref> Their first album for Rough Trade, Dear Catastrophe Waitress, was released in 2003 and was produced by Trevor Horn.<ref name="secret">Template:Citation</ref> The album showed a markedly more "produced" sound compared to their first four LPs,<ref name="eye">Template:Citation</ref> as the band was making a concerted effort to produce more "radio-friendly" music.<ref name="secret" /> At this point, the band began to engage more with the press and started appearing in publicity shots. The album was warmly received and is credited with restoring the band's "indie cred".<ref name="grd" /> The album also marked the return of Murdoch as the group's primary songwriter, following the poorly received Fold Your Hands Child, You Walk Like a Peasant and Storytelling, both of which were more collaborative than the band's early work.<ref>Template:Citation</ref> A documentary DVD, Fans Only, was released by Jeepster in October 2003, featuring promotional videos, live clips and unreleased footage.<ref name="notebook" /> A single from the album, "Step into My Office, Baby" followed in November 2003; it would be their first single to be taken from an album,<ref name="dcw" /> and included a track recorded with Divine Comedy producer Darren Allison entitled Love on the March.
The Thin Lizzy-inspired "I'm a Cuckoo" was the second single from the album.<ref name="eye" /><ref>Template:Citation</ref> It achieved their highest chart position yet, reaching No. 14 in the UK.<ref name="mtv" /> The Books EP followed, a double A-side single led by "Wrapped Up in Books" from Dear Catastrophe Waitress and the new "Your Cover's Blown". This EP became the band's third top 20 UK release, and the band was nominated for both the Mercury Music Prize and an Ivor Novello Award. In January 2005, B&S was voted Scotland's greatest band in a poll by The List, beating Simple Minds, Idlewild, Travis, Franz Ferdinand, and The Proclaimers, among others.<ref name="erd">Template:Citation</ref>
In April 2005, members of the band visited Israel and the Palestinian territories with the UK charity War on Want;<ref name="guardian" /> the group subsequently recorded a song inspired by the trip titled "The Eighth Station of the Cross Kebab House", which would first appear on the digital-download version of the charity album Help!: A Day in the Life and would later have a physical release as a B-side on 2006's "Funny Little Frog" single. Push Barman to Open Old Wounds, a compilation of the Jeepster singles and EPs, was released in May 2005 while the band were recording their seventh album in California. The result of the sessions was The Life Pursuit, produced by Tony Hoffer.<ref name="guardian">Template:Citation</ref><ref>Template:Citation</ref> The album, originally intended to be a double album,<ref>Template:Citation</ref> became the band's highest-charting album upon its release in February 2006, peaking at No. 8 in the UK and No. 65 on the US Billboard 200.<ref>Template:Citation</ref><ref>Template:Citation</ref> "Funny Little Frog", which preceded it, also proved to be their highest-charting single, debuting at No. 13.<ref name="notebook">Template:Citation</ref>
On 6 July 2006, the band played a historic<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> show with the Los Angeles Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl.<ref>Template:Citation</ref> The opening act at the 18,000 seat sell-out concert was The Shins.<ref>Template:Citation</ref> The members of the band see this as a landmark event, with Stevie Jackson saying, "This is the biggest thrill of my entire life".<ref>Template:Citation</ref> In October 2006, members of the band helped put together a CD collection of new songs for children titled Colours Are Brighter, with the involvement of major bands such as Franz Ferdinand and The Flaming Lips.<ref>Template:Citation</ref>
On 18 November 2008 the band released The BBC Sessions, which features songs from the period of 1996–2001 (including the last recordings featuring Isobel Campbell before she left the band), along with a second disc featuring a recording of a live performance in Belfast from Christmas 2001.<ref>Template:Citation</ref>
Write About Love and Girls In Peacetime Want to Dance (2010–2016)Edit

In 2013, Pitchfork TV released an hour-long documentary in February, directed by RJ Bentler which focused on the band's 1996 album If You're Feeling Sinister, as well as the formation and early releases of the band. The documentary featured interviews with every member that was present on the album, as well as several archival photos and videos from the band's early days.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The band compiled a second compilation album The Third Eye Centre which included the B-sides and rarities released after Push Barman to Open Old Wounds, from the albums Dear Catastrophe Waitress, The Life Pursuit, and Write about Love. In an interview at the end of 2013,<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Mick Cooke confirmed he had left the band on good terms.
