Belle and Sebastian fans should be excited to learn that the band will be playing its 1996 album If You’re Feeling Sinister in full for their Pitchfork performance. The Scottish band, led by Stuart Murdoch and Isobel Campbell, is no stranger to Pitchfork. In 2013, the music newsite released a documentary under the name of their 1996 masterpiece. The band's music is bookish in how Murdoch fictionalizes the lives of ordinary people into songs. Other successful albums include Tigermilk (1996) and The Boy with the Arab Strap (1998). The band is also set to release an album this year, Days of the Bagnold Summer. Belle and Sebastian's folk-rock anthems will be a sure crowd pleaser in Union Park later this month.
