The album "Dear Catastrophe Waitress" was a bit of a departure for the Scottish band Belle & Sebastian. Their numerous previous releases, squarely in the realm of twee and baroque pop, were pretty lo-fi. For their 2003 release, their new label Rough Trade brought in producer Trevor Horn (who has produced for or performed in Yes, the Art of Noise, and Frankie Goes to Hollywood), who massaged the band's sound in to a distinctly more polished, poppy sound.
Favorite tracks: 1. Step Into My Office, Baby; 3. If She Wants Me; 6. I'm a Cuckoo; Piazza, New York Catcher; 8. Wrapped Up in Books
