Belle and Sebastian - What to Look for in Summer

A live album and a peppy one at that. The first proper song is my latter day favourite B&S song, "Dirty Dream Number Two", and they do it justice, and there are plenty of classics across its 23 tracks, among which "Beyond the Sunrise" stands out for the way this rendition elevates it and gives it new texture and "The Fox in the Snow" and "My Wandering Days Are Over" stand out for just being such completely great songs. Plus there are a couple of newer ones I hadn't heard before along with a couple from Write About Love, which I never really internalised. Two from way, way back when in "Dog on Wheels" and "Belle & Sebastian". And it all fits.
