I suppose the second best thing to a new Belle & Sebastian album would be a new album featuring the work of a member of Belle & Sebastian. At least, that's how I feel. God Help The Girl is a side-project of Stuart Murdoch, lead crooner of B&S. Just like the Jarvis album I knew this was something that I wouldn't be able to wait for, so I placed an order with Amazon UK and it should arrive sometime in the next week and a half. Until then I imagine I'll be revisiting this lovely video for the wonderful first single, Come Monday Morning:
Where did these girls come from? And who does their eyeliner? If you want to know more about this project and Stuart Murdoch take a look at his blogs for The Guardian. The blogs are accompanied by parts of his wife's documentary "Girl Singer Needed."

I like the song, but the first part of the video is weird (and a little reminiscent of cheesy porn acting, Michael says). Also, I want Stuart to sing, gosh darn it.
I like it too- I love when music like this comes around, instead of all the cookie cutter stuff that is usually around.
seriously, if you find out about the eyeliner, let me know.
seconded. inquiring minds...
So far all I know is that this project may eventually be turned into a feature film. Still trying to figure out the eyeliner scoop.
I can't wait til the CD arrives so I can hear the rest!
Oh! And Erin, I don't know if Stuart sings, but I think he does some talking. It is a concept album, after all. He plays the role of a swimming instructor.
love them!
thanks brie!
I'm mostly bummed after listening to this album. The songs are fantastic, but would sound vastly superior with a Scottish lilt, so I'm only really happy when Stuart takes the mic. Instead, I'm left wondering why the female voice of his dreams sounds like Helen Reddy.
