In May 2010, the band revealed on their website that they are "back in the studio working on some new songs".

b&s had been on hiatus; why is it belle & sebastian and stereolab both had to go on hiatus... two bands that i am always ready for more of

Facebook, today:

hi folks

i just got back from the States, the lp's done, so now the artwork!

Glasgow is amazingly lush and green after 2 months of 'the desert'. I

...took some pictures already, but i fancy drifting round and taking some

more. If you're game, and you can be around Glasgow sometime this week,

send me your picture, especially if you're in a relaxed and wistful start of the summer sort of mood.. i'm interested in couples too, at least doing one set of pics with a couple.

...now john's just scrambling to set this up, so it might be a couple of

hours yet, but it will give you time to look out a decent snap (but

please, quite recent!)

lots of love

They went on hiatus because Stuart was over it and was posting about it on his blog.

Fuck they're good live, especially if they bring a string section with them like the first time I saw them. Bloody friendly chaps too
