Under the cover of the Gentle Waves, Belle & Sebastian's Isobel Campbell released her second solo effort, SWANSONG FOR YOU, in 2000. And once again, it sounds like a more stripped down, intimate version of her main band. Much like its predecessor, SWANSONG features Campbell's breathy vocals over sparse arrangements; soft piano or picked acoustic guitars are balanced with gorgeous string arrangements. In her charming Scottish accent, Campbell has a knack for sounding like she's singing for the listener alone. SWANSONG's successes make it arguably her finest achievement as a solo performer, even if the last under the Gentle Waves moniker.

Editorial Reviews
7 out of 10 - ...Like a cabaret band at a doll's tea party....There is something beneath the cardigan, and what's more, it sounds good...
NME (11/18/2000)

3.5 stars out of 5 - ...Isobel Campbell reveals her Juliana Hatfield voice, and it's all, yes, pleasantly twee.
Melody Maker (11/28/2000)

3 stars out of 5 - ...A charming curio from an unusual and talented musician.
Q (12/01/2000)

...From the retro cover art...to the groovy use of Ahmmond organ, harp and glockenspeil, it's a near-fetishistic tribute - impressively executed... - Rating: B
