Belle and Sebastian - Write About Love

Less than 5 weeks away from the release of Belle and Sebastian Write About Love.
So - first off here is the lead track - Write About Love.



We hope you like it! Along with the rest of the album, it was recorded in Los Angeles earlier this year and produced by Tony Hoffer. It also features a guest vocal by Carey Mulligan. For those in the USA, the song is available on iTunes from today - if you are elsewhere, it won't be released officially until after the album - 25th October in the UK.

It is, of course, our third album for Rough Trade and was recorded in April and May at Sound Factory Studio B. Stuart wrote the majority of the songs and one (Sunday's Pretty Icons) with Mick; Sarah wrote and takes lead vocal on I Didn't See It Coming and I Can See Your Future; Stevie wrote and sings I'm Not Living In The Real World. The are also some guests - as well as the aforementioned Carey Mulligan, Norah Jones duets with Stuart on Little Lou, Ugly Jack, Prophet John and some orchestration is added by members of LA's The Section Quartet.
