From Belle & Sebastian to The Delgados. They're from the same set. Sensitive Glasgow types with good book and record collections for sensitive Indie types with good book and record collections. Album that are put together as loving, creative acts for like-minded souls.
Delgado take the lead to a greater degree from Punk than Pop than Belle & Sebastian. More Modern Lovers than Left Banke. And they didn't break so much from the Underground as Murdoch & Co did. But I'd imagine the bands would have shared bills and pints. A listen to the record just makes me want to buy more Delgados records and catch them live one day. The guitars and drums and lyrics on their songs seem to 'flap like little pages.' The pages of Penguin Classics, Picador and Virago Press.
