Belle and Sebastian are a Scottish indie pop band formed in Glasgow in 1996. Led by Stuart Murdoch, the band has released twelve studio albums.[5][6] They are often compared with acts such as the Smiths[7][8] and Nick Drake.[5][6] The name "Belle and Sebastian" comes from Belle et Sébastien, a 1966 children's book by French writer Cécile Aubry adapted from a television series of the same name. Though consistently lauded by critics,[9][10] Belle and Sebastian's "wistful pop"[11] has enjoyed only limited commercial success.[9]
