Dear Catastrophe Waitress, Belle and Sebastian (2003)
Tumblr media
I think that what I really, really needed in my life was a more overtly 60s-inspired Belle and Sebastian album. In that, Dear Catastrophe Waitress is marvellous; a sumptuous mix that gathers sunshine pop jolliness, open-hearted folk and the ear-twisting remnants of classic psych and merges it all with Stuart Murdoch’s typical sort of slick snidery.
Pick: ‘I’m a Cuckoo’

Live Review: Belle and Sebastian at Manchester Academy 21 July 2023
Words: Ben Forrester On my way to the Academy in Manchester this evening, I’m calculating how long it’s been since I was first introduced to Scotland’s premier indie group, Belle & Sebastian. Turns out it’s been 20 years, as it was their 2003 album ‘Dear Catastrophe Waitress’ that switched me on to the Glaswegian’s glistening pop melodies. I’ve therefore waited two whole decades to see them…

Some Belle and Sebastian sketches because I love their album covers and wanted some value practice. Anyway I’m so normal about this band it’s insane.

the boy with the arab strap is a perfect album. i’ve never heard an album, including any other belle and sebastian album, that sounds and feels the way that boy with the arab strap feels. the songs fit so perfectly together and they’re all so beautiful.

heres a list of albums that capture a mix of whimsical, and dreamy vibes—perfect for leaning into the Twee aesthetic:
"In the Aeroplane Over the Sea" ! Neutral Milk Hotel
Full of haunting, surreal lyrics and lo-fi instrumentation, this one has that raw, unpolished Twee feel ! It's been a staple for indie dreamers for years
"Bee Hives" – Broken Social Scene
This is the softer, more atmospheric B-side collection from Broken Social Scene, with ambient, intimate tracks that feel like warm daydreams.
"69 Love Songs" – The Magnetic Fields
Known for both wit and melancholy, this 3-disc album covers a massive spectrum of styles and emotions. It's a true Twee treasure trove
"Twee as F*" – Various Artists (Fortuna Pop! Compilation)**
This compilation is a goldmine for Twee fans, with artists like Allo Darlin' and The Lucksmiths. It's great for sampling some iconic bands and getting lost in a jangly, retro soundscape.
"Feels" – Animal Collective
Experimental yet surprisingly cozy, Feels has a sense of wonder and adventure. It’s quirky and playful, perfect for the imaginative side of Twee.
"Songs for the General Public" – The Lemon Twigs
Retro-inspired pop rock with a theatrical twist. This album has enough storytelling and quirky hooks to keep it in Twee territory, with a modern flair.
"Past Life Martyred Saints" – EMA
This is on the rawer side of Twee but deeply introspective, with a bedroom-recorded, confessional vibe that feels both honest and aesthetic-driven.
"The Boy with the Arab Strap" – Belle and Sebastian
Dreamy, witty, and filled with richly crafted character stories, this album is quintessential Twee. Belle and Sebastian's light melodies and clever lyrics are a must.
"Vespertine" – Björk
Ethereal, tender, and layered with magical soundscapes. It’s like stepping into a daydream. A bit unconventional Twee, but its emotional depth and unique textures fit the vibe.
"Dear Catastrophe Waitress" – Belle and Sebastian
It’s an obvious choice, but if you’re missing this one, go back to it. Every track sounds like a scene out of a charming indie film, with that perfect mix of sweetness and introspective edge.
each of these albums can give you a different slice of the Twee universe, from raw lo-fi to storytelling

AllMusic Staff Pick: Belle and Sebastian Dear Catastrophe Waitress
A surprisingly upbeat and poppy album from these twee Glaswegian songsmiths, largely attributable to producer Trevor Horn who helmed classic releases from ABC and Frankie Goes to Hollywood. Where their previous records were intimate masterpieces of warm cardigans and aloof misery, Dear Catastrophe Waitress celebrates with sunny flutes, shining string sections, and odes to Mike Piazza.
