Belle & Sebastian Have Recorded An Olympic Theme

It's called 'Olympic Village, 6AM'...

Belle & Sebastian have recorded a new Olympic Games inspired track.

The indie pop stalwarts have clearly been enthralled by events in Rio, heading straight into the studio to record new material.

'Olympic Village, 6AM' is an instrumental, with that lilting floor piano melody matched against a chugging, 60s pop inspired rhythm.

The band explain: "Belle and Sebastian dig the Olympics, love the Olympic ideal, love that the world gets together for a big 'sports day' once every four years. We can't be part of it, though we'd like to be. So we recorded a piece of music with Rio In mind: specifically the Track and Field."
