Beloved Scottish indie-pop troup Belle & Sebastian have been making noises recently towards the release of a new album, which will be their eighth studio album. Well now we have a little more concrete evidence thanks to the album cover displayed above and the apt title Belle & Sebastian Write About Love.

A release date has not yet been announced but we can hope that it’s not too far off. The band are touring in both North America and their native Britain before the end of the year, so you can catch them preview songs from the new album then. Full dates are below.
