Write About Love
Stevie Jackson and Bob Kildea, from Belle & Sebastian, played on The Vaselines new album Sex With An X and are now going to be touring with them. After writing about The Vaselines comeback yesterday I thought I'd have a look and listen to what their other group have been up to recently.
Belle & Sebastian was formed by Stuart Murdoch and Stuart David in Glasgow in 1996. Their first album, Tigermilk, was released the same year by Stow College label Electric Honey - yes a college. Only 1000 vinyl copies were made at the time. If you have one of the originals it could apparently be worth up to £400. It was later re-issued by Rough Trade Records when they signed with them.
Anyway, after recording in Los Angeles earlier this year the band will be releasing their 8th studio album, Write About Love, on the 11th of October. (12th in the US and Canada). The title track is the first single and came out on September 7th in the US but is not set to be released in the UK and everywhere else until October 25th.
You can have a listen to it at the bottom of this post where there are also a couple of their oldies.
