To mark the impending release of their eight album Belle and Sebastian Write About Love, Glasgow sweethearts Belle and Sebastian have created Belle and Sebastian TV.

The first episode of Belle and Sebastian TV is a fully realized, half-hour mixture of music, chat, revealing and not so revealing insights from the band, filmed in Glasgow over the last few weeks.

Presented by Dougie Anderson and produced by Forest of Black, Belle & Sebastian TV features performances of two of the songs from Belle and Sebastian Write About Love: I Want The World to Stop and  I Didn’t See It Coming.

Unlike its predecessors, Belle and Sebastian Write About Love is an album which has come together in a relatively short period of time. After the band reconvened in February 2010, a period of writing and pre-production in Glasgow was followed by a trip to Los Angeles to record the album with Tony Hoffer (Beck, Air, Phoenix) at the renowned Sound Factory Studio B. Adopting a more fluid approach than on previous album The Life Pursuit, fourteen songs were recorded and mixed by the start of June 2010, of which eleven feature on Belle and Sebastian Write About Love.
