Like something inbetween "Seeing Other People" and "Legal Man" comes the new Beach Boys-esque single from Belle & Sebastian. "Jonathan David" is one of those memorable, uplifting summer songs that is a pleasure to listen to, though die-hard B&S fans might object to the very polished nature of it - one of the charms of B&S are the slight imperfections in their music. Also on the CD is the live favourite "Loneliness of the Middle Distance Runner" which lowers the tempo and contrasts with the title track very nicely. If, like me, you like B&S then you probably won't bother reading this review and buy it anyway. On the other hand if you want something to relax to during the coming summer evenings then you could do a lot worse...
