Belle & Sebastian, Lorna from Nottingham started out as a studio project by one man (Mark Rolfe), but subsequently developed into a fully-fledged band with an extensive oeuvre.

After that, the album goes out like a night candle. And that's a pity, because Constellations could have been a great EP, muses (RME).more
