And that was only half of their formula; the group is still a seven-piece, their members having remained largely intact over 20 years and their style of light, catchy twee-pop has always sounded like a group of people who know exactly which melodic turns their bandmates will make at any given moment, who know when to add more and when to add less. And although 2000s Belle & Sebastian has added more syn- thesizers, more string sections and more computers, they will never be mistaken for anyone else; their sound is uniquely theirs and instantly recognizable. courtesy yelp But Girls in Peacetime goes in an entirely new direction: dance music.

3. “The Party Line” Catchy, edgy dance song with funky guitarwork and dark lyrics

9. “Ever Had a Little Faith?” Classic Belle & Sebastian track with beautiful violin feature

Sarah Martin, the band’s violinist and assistant songwriter, contributes two rather boring pieces of filler: the mundane, synth-drenched dance track “Power of Three,” alongside the rollicking “The Book of You.” The latter isn’t too bad a love song, but features such cringeworthy lines as “I want the world to see that I’m the one for you and you’re the one for me.” Often the value of a Belle & Sebastian record can be gleaned by how many tracks are written by someone other than Murdoch, and with three out of twelve, Girls In Peacetime doesn’t hold up well. The best song on the album, the beautiful strummer “Ever Had a Little Faith?” is classic Belle & Sebastian; the pattering drums and the lilting, interwoven guitar lines behind Murdoch’s soft vocals are a wonderful change of pace after “Perfect Couples” and “Enter Sylvia Plath,” and Martin’s violin line is truly gorgeous. Of course, in an interview, Murdoch explains that this song was written in 1995 and for- gotten until now. Go figure. Not all of these tracks are so bad; opener “Nobody’s Empire” is a decent piece of pop with some nice, detailed lines from Murdoch’s life as he reflects on his younger self, and the stomper “Allie” is reminiscent of Belle & Sebastian’s transition period, a sinister track with some crunchy guitar work by the underrated Stevie Jackson, who pulls more than his weight on this record when given the opportunity. But the four or so decent tracks fail to stand out against the five or six repetitive pieces of fluff that grace this record. Belle & Sebas- tian sounds like a group of close friends who still enjoy making music together but have ultimately run out of ideas. The record sounds exactly like what it is: dance- pop made by aging 40-something indie musicians. By attempting to blend dance and electronic music with the classic Belle & Sebastian sound, both aspects are se- verely compromised, and the result is an unfortunate mixture of that is both medio- cre and annoying. 6 Sports is on Twitter.

Men’s tennis opens at home Juan Saldana thresher Staff

The newly constructed George R. Brown Tennis Center hosted its frst ofcial matches this weekend as the Rice men’s tennis team be- gins its 2015 season. On Friday, the Owls (1-1) lost 4-3 to the Uni- versity of Texas, San Antonio (1-1). On Sunday, the Owls defeated Cornell University (1-1) 4-1. At the beginning of Friday’s game, the UTSA Roadrunners won the doubles round and the Owls were unable to come back. Sophomore Zach Yablon, freshman Jamie Malik and sophomore David Warren won their singles matches, but senior Srikar Alla could not hang on to a 4-1 lead in the third set against UTSA senior Thom- as Stillman. Stillman went on to win the match 6-3, 2-6, 7-6 (8), and the Roadrunners clinched the 4-3 victory. On Sunday, the Owls faced of against nationally-ranked No. 60 Cornell University. The Owls took control and won the match when Alla delivered the clinching point against Cor- nell senior Sam Fleck. Head coach Efe Ustundag said the Owls were disappointed after losing their home opener in Rice’s new venue. “The nerves just got too much out of us,” Ustundag said. “The energy that was built up since last semester just came out diferently than we had hoped for.” According to Ustundag, the team was able to rebound on Sunday by focusing less on previous mistakes and more on what could be improved. “We got better at not letting those opportunities that got away from us afect us,” Us- tundag said. “Today, having that frst match out of the way, we could come out and focus on the small details like the energy and intensity.” According to Ustundag, the Owls have a long a way to go before they can consistently compete with teams like Cornell’s. “We still [need] a lot of improvements,” Us- tundag said. “I think this was a nice preview of how good we can be when we are clicking on all cylinders.” 0see Tennis, page 7 Basketball wins in overtime Kevin Mohanram thresher Staff
