Och aye! Belle and Sebastian are Scotland’s favourite indie band, which makes them England’s favourite British indie band whenever they win something or have a platinum album. Wait no, that’s Andy Murray. Anyway, the Glaswegians have just released their ninth album, Girls In Peacetime Want To Dance, through Matador/Remote Control.It has been received very well: Kevin Harley of The Independent said to “chalk this one up for a win”, Stephen Thomas Erlewine at allmusic.com said, “This is the sound of a band’s that’s growing fearless in middle age … there’s a thrill hearing a band unafraid to stumble”, and here at the BRAG we made it Album of the Week.

We’ve got five copies of the new album to give away. To be in the running to win a copy, head to the comments below and tell us your favourite thing about Scotland.
