Influential Glaswegian twee pop band Belle and Sebastian will be releasing their eighth album, Belle and Sebastian Write About Love, in the States on October 12 on Rough Trade Records. Title track “Write About Love” was released as a single here on September 7, and it’s a sexy little pop number. The band will be playing several largish venues in North America starting on October 11 in Chicago, and this year’s shows mark the first time the band have played live in 4 years. Belle and Sebastian are also scheduled to appear at San Francisco’s Treasure Island Festival on October 17.
You can stream Belle and Sebastian Write About Love in its entirety on NPR prior to the album’s release in America next Tuesday.
