Belle and Sebastian remind us all to Write About Love

Two new songs to enjoy (or endure)

Three nights at the Barrowlands Ballroom is the Christmas treat for all Belle and Sebastian fans this year but there is a lot of excitement to come from the group before then.

The new album, ‘Write About Love’ is scheduled for an October release….which of course seems like ages away at the moment. Mind you, we’re struggling to accept the fact that it is September already so it is likely to be with us sooner than you would think.

The following video features two new songs, some lovely shots of Glasgow and the annoying arse that is Dougie Anderson, sorry about that…the rest of it is really watchable though.

The two new songs played in full are ‘I Want The World To Stop’ and ‘I Didn’t See It Coming’…and without being top of the pile Belle and Sebastian songs, they have certainly piqued our interest enough ahead of the schedule.

Some fans have moved away from the most recent B&S albums and what they consider to be a more commercial sound but we think there’s plenty of room for plenty of styles of sounds from the band. The classic songs, EPs and albums are always going to be around, no matter what…and the newer material is a decent addition to an arsenal which loaded up in quality right from the start.

Anyone expecting a ‘The Stars of Track and Field’ or ‘Like Dylan In The Movies’ may be let down but there seems enough melodies, lyrical tales and striding poppiness to keep holding a place in your heart for one of Glasgow’s most important musical gifts to the world.

What would you write about love?
