Belle & Sebastian / Write About Love

Four and a half years after the release of The Life Pursuit - a top ten album in the UK which sold over a quarter of a million copies globally - Belle and Sebastian release their new album, Belle and Sebastian Write About Love on Rough Trade Records on 11th October 2010.

It is their third album since signing to Rough Trade in 2002, following The Life Pursuit (2006) and Dear Catastrophe Waitress (2003).

Unlike its predecessors, it is an album which has come together in a relatively short period of time.  After reconvening in February 2010, a period of writing and pre-production in Glasgow was followed by a trip to Los Angeles for recording with Tony Hoffer (who also produced The Life Pursuit) at the renowned Sound Factory Studio B.

Adopting a more fluid approach than on the previous record, fourteen songs were recorded and mixed by the start of June, of which eleven feature on the CD and vinyl releases.
