Classic Reissued on Vinyl With "It Could Have Been a Brilliant Career" Obi Strip!
Fold Your Hands Child, You Walk Like a Peasant is the fourth album from the Scottish group Belle & Sebastian. The album features songs at a slower pace than their other albums, making it their most quiet and mellow album yet. The album is the closest the band has come to the chamber pop genre, as the instrumentation is mostly acoustic.
The band introduced many stylistic changes on this album, such as an organic strings section and more songs with lead vocals by other members of the band; Sarah Martin sings on "Waiting for the Moon to Rise," Isobel Campbell sings on "Family Tree," and performs duets with Stevie Jackson (who sings in an unusually low voice) on "Beyond the Sunrise" and Stuart Murdoch on "Women's Realm." Jackson also sings lead vocal on "The Wrong Girl." It is the last Belle & Sebastian album to feature bass player Stuart David, who departed the band after the album's completion.
This album has been out of print since 2010!
"Also like its predecessor, Fold Your Hands Child opts for a subtle, intimate palette that reveals its charms only in its own sweet time." -Jason Ankeny, allmusic.com
