(2002)"Fold Your Hands Child, You Walk Like a Peasant" is the fourth album from the Scottish group
Belle & Sebastian . The album was released to mixed reviews, and it is considered by a number of critics to be of lower quality than preceding albums like "If You're Feeling Sinister " [http://www.metacritic.com/music/artists/belleandsebastian/foldyourhands?q=belle%20&%20sebastian] .The band introduced many stylistic changes on this album, such as an organic strings section and more songs with lead vocals by other members of the band; Sarah Martin sings on "Waiting for the Moon to Rise",
Isobel Campbell sings on "Family Tree", and performs a duet withStevie Jackson (who sings in an unusually low voice) on "Beyond the Sunrise". Jackson also sings lead vocal on "The Wrong Girl".The twin sisters pictured on the cover are Gyða and
Kristín Anna Valtýsdóttir both former members of the Icelandic experimental groupmúm .The album's title is a line from the 1960 play "The Devils" by
John Whiting .Track listing
