Belle and Sebastian and Badly Drawn Boy

Damon Gough, aka Badly Drawn Boy, from Bolton, England, is acclaimed for his intricate pop and heartfelt lyrics, akin to Nick Drake and John Lennon. Debuting with the Mercury Prize-winning "The Hour of Bewilderbeast," and notable for the "About a Boy" soundtrack, he collaborated with artists like Thom Yorke and Richard Ashcroft. Known for hits like "Once Around the Block" and "You Were Right," and albums like "Have You Fed the Fish?" and "Born in the U.K.," Gough returned with "Banana Skin Shoes" in 2020 after a hiatus, blending vintage sounds with alt-hip-hop.

Glasgow's indie pop band Belle and Sebastian, formed in 1994, are known for their '60s-inspired chamber pop and twee melodies. Their debut, "Tigermilk," was a cult hit, leading to classics like "If You're Feeling Sinister." They continued to evolve, achieving critical acclaim with albums like "The Life Pursuit" and singles like "I'm a Cuckoo."
