After a decade of indie-pop perfection, Belle and Sebastian embraced a more direct, rock-inflected sound on "Dear Catastrophe Waitress," their seventh studio album.
- The album was produced by Tony Hoffer, known for his work with bands like Beck and The Kooks.
- It reached number 14 on the UK Albums Chart.
- The album's lead single, "I'm a Cuckoo," became one of the band's most enduring and recognizable tracks.
Belle and Sebastian are a Scottish indie pop band formed in Glasgow in 1996. They are known for their literate, often whimsical, songcraft and gentle, melodic arrangements. "Dear Catastrophe Waitress" was released in 2003, marking a period where the band began to incorporate more overt rock and pop elements into their sound, moving away from the more fragile folk of their earlier work.
