hello, just thought you might all be interested ... the following news story is currently up on the SPIN.com website: http://www.spin.com/noise/news/art-19990409-new1/ The Gentle Waves: Second Wave of Belle and Sebastian Solo Projects Belle and Sebastian's vocalist Isobel Campbell is preparing to release The Green Fields of Foreverland, the debut disc from her solo project, the Gentle Waves. B&S bassist Stuart David's side project, Looper, released their nutty but critically acclaimed disc Up A Tree this March on Sub Pop. Campbell's sound is less experimental, boasting a Nick Drake/Joni Mitchell influenced, retro folk-pop sound, not dissimilar from "Is It Wicked Not to Care?" from The Boy with the Arab Strap. Those who crave a larger helping of such a thing, should look for it on May 4 from B&S's U.K. label, Jeepster. cheers, Katrina. -- ************************************************************************ jeepster recordings ltd. - mailto:a-and-r@jeepster.co.uk http://www.jeepster.co.uk/ ***we are moving on april 1st 1999!*** new postal address is po box 14153, london, sw11 4xu, u.k. tel: 0171 924 2324, fax: 0171 924 6161 +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
