Playlist 29.05.09

Stuart Bailie | 23:36 UK time, Saturday, 30 May 2009

God Help The Girl is a new project from Stuart Murdoch, the chief writer from Belle And Sebastian. The album has a kind of narrative, a story of love, pop cuture and thwarted fun. If you are familiar with the guy's work, you'll maybe expect a deal of '60s socio-realism. Think Sheila Delaney and Rita Tushingham and those prized icons of Morrissey world. There's a bonus vocal from Neil Hannon and an orchstral version of the Murdoch cutie, 'Frog In My Throat', so we really can't complain.
