Belle and Sebastian hit the dancefloor on Girls in Peacetime Want to Dance, a 2015 album pressed here as a double LP with a digital download card.

After years as the patron saints of bookish Glasgow indie pop, the band surprised many listeners by heading to Atlanta to work with producer Ben H. Allen and embracing synths, disco beats and glossy, Euro-pop shimmer. The songs still carry Stuart Murdoch's sharp observations and wry tenderness, but now they come wrapped in pulsing basslines and glittering keyboards.

"Nobody's Empire" opens the album with one of Murdoch's most personal songs, drawing on his years of illness in a sweeping, hopeful anthem. "The Party Line" is a bright, bouncing disco-pop single, "Perfect Couples" slinks with a cheeky, funky strut, and "Allie" pairs jangling guitars with a rousing chorus that feels like classic Belle and Sebastian.

Elsewhere, the album stretches into longer, groove-heavy pieces that show the band enjoying a new kind of freedom, with the whole group sounding loose, playful and unafraid of a big hook.

It is a bold, playful reinvention from a group that could easily have stayed in its comfort zone, and across four sides there is plenty of room for those extended grooves to unfold. Pop with a brain and a pulse.
