I realized about a few days ago that Belle and Sebastian accidentally became my favorite band. Does anyone have any recommendations in the style of "if you love [band] then you'll love [this band/these bands]"? I need more. I have everything they have released.

edit: these so called "New Pornographers" are quite nice!

This is awesome to hear! What have you listened to so far? There's a lot in that catalog to like.

I listened to the song COUNTIN THE BILLIES posted and then I downloaded the entire catalog I am half way through mass romantic right now and loving it!

You don't want this, but the biggest Belle and Sebastian copycats in the world are World Atlas.

Holy crap! If I did not know B&S super well I would probably have been fooled if someone told me this was them. Please tell me the singer actually is scottish and the act is not so calculated that he actually made the conscious decision to sing like that.

It's kind of like the first time I heard Billy Squier for the first time and thought it was a late 70s Zeppelin deep cut. Or the first time I heard Billy Joel and thought it was Elton John.

Actually I didn't notice itunes was going alphabetically and I accidentally am listening to Together. Still good though.

Thank you! This is exactly like what I wanted. I was always scared to do a hardcore twee exploration just because it seems like there are so many bands to check out.

I am especially loving heavenly. I did not care for that The Field Mice song, but maybe they have done other stuff that makes them worth giving another shot.

Wait a sec, how is there NOT a Mountain Goats thread. I've had the new album on repeat all day.

I am loving how hes using piano more on stuff. It provides a nice change of pace.

Its just so awesome. I'm back on lakeside view apartment suite. The bass on this song. Its all so amazing.
