Aug 11, 2010 By Hong Le Belle and Sebastian

In a note from Belle and Sebastian band leader Stuart Murdoch posted on their official website, he wrote: “The new record is called Belle and Sebastian Write About Love.” Above is the cover of Belle and Sebastian Write About Love, taken by Stuart himself of his friend Kim from the Glasgow band Zoey Van Goey, writing the album title in a secluded spot in Glasgow. There is no confirmed release date yet for the band’s eighth studio album.

To promote their record, Stuart urged fans to post pictures or video of themselves writing “Belle and Sebastian Write About Love” around their own town on a Flickr group set up by Stuart himself. But please, don’t become a rebel and graffiti B&S with spray paint all around town, or in Stuart’s own words: “Remember to use chalk or at least something non-permanent!”
