Indie legends Belle & Sebastian will release a new album soon, and Stuart announced on the band's website today that their 8th LP will be entitled Write About Love.The title, along with the above album cover and a live version the a new song, "I Didn't See It Coming" is still all we know.
But here's the fun part! While awaiting news of a release date, tracklisting, or proper recordings of new tracks, we're invited to partake in a B&S related photo project. You see, the cover art is a photo of Kim from Zoey Van Goey taken by Stuart after they wrote the album's title in chalk around obscure areas of Glasgow, and he thinks it would be cool if we did the same. Stuart writes:
"To sum up, I'd like to see pictures or footage of you writing either Belle and Sebastian Write About Love or Write About Love in secret or public places, in the town you live in."There's even a Flickr pool for submissions, and a promise of trophies for the most artistic, unique shots! Should be interesting to see what fans come up with.
Update: Turns out below is the actual real album cover - as reported by Stuart - and the album will be released October 12th in the US.
