Belle and Sebastian - The Blues Are Still Blue

There's only a little bit of vocoder in this song. But even then, just with a little bit, you know that Belle & Sebastian's tweeest days are behind them. No – The Blues Are Still Blue is better suited to dancefloor than to that melancholy seat by the window. Listen to the bass and tambourine-lines, while Stuart Murdoch explores the lower and robotic ends of his register. This could be a bad thing, would be a bad thing, were B&S not able to pull off the incredible: turning shy kids into crooners, shufflers into dancers, fumblers into lovers. [Sean Michaels]
