Album Notes & Community Reviews

Acting as a solo vehicle for Belle and Sebastian vocalist Isobel Campbell, 'The Green Fields of Foreverland...' is a profoundly delicate and remarkably innocent record[cite: 1]. The production leans heavily on highly orchestrated chamber pop instrumentation and gentle acoustic guitars, perfectly supporting her remarkably breathy, twee pop vocal style[cite: 1].
