The Boy with the Arab Strap is the Belle & Sebastian album famous for winning a Brit over the like of 5ive in the best newcomers award, it did this by it’s fan dedication and use of e-mail votes. It was in all respects a RESULT and just reward for what is an excellent album. The main feel is melanchonic, but there is incisive satire all across the album. The second half of the album dives more into electonica with a space boy dream, but overall the album is pure folk, stories in songs.
