Release Notes:
After an internet-wide talent search, Belle and Sebastian leader Stuart
Murdoch's long-in-the-works latest project-- a twee musical called God
Help the Girl-- is finally coming to fruition. The soundtrack,
featuring new Murdoch songs and a couple reworked B&S favorites, is due
June 23 on Matador in North America (June 22 on Rough Trade in Europe).
First single "Come Monday Night" is out May 11, but you can hear it
right now on the God Help the Girl MySpace.
Along with the work of a 45-piece orchestra conducted by Withnail & I
composer Rick Wentworth, the upcoming album features vocals from
Murdoch himself, his B&S cronies, Asya from Smoosh, online finds
Brittany Stallings and Dina Bankole, and Neil Hannon of the Divine
Comedy.
But it's Scottish newcomer Catherine Ireton who takes top billing-- she
sings on 10 of the record's 14 tracks. So who is this overnight twee
idol? Well, if she looks like she belongs on the cover of a Belle and
Sebastian record, it's probably because she was already on the cover of
a Belle and Sebastian record (2006 single "White Collar Boy"). She's
also one half of acoustic pop duo the Go Away Birds, who currently have
1,017 plays on their MySpace at press time. Expect that number to rise.
Based on the Go Away Birds tracks and the Ireton showcase "Come Monday
Night", B&S stalwarts shouldn't have much trouble falling for her.
