God Help the Girl

Musical Group or Musician

A musical project led by Stuart Murdoch of Belle and Sebastian that began with the 2009 album God Help the Girl and expanded into an eponymous film. The project features orchestral arrangements, female vocalists and 1960s pop influences.

Project led by Stuart Murdoch (Belle and Sebastian). Debut album God Help the Girl released on Matador (2009). Recording involved a large orchestra (conducted by Rick Wentworth in the review) and arrangements credited in the review to Mick Cooke (Belle and Sebastian trumpeter).

A warmly positive appraisal of God Help the Girl's 2009 album and related film project. The review praises Stuart Murdoch's songwriting, orchestral arrangements and vocalist Catherine Ireton. Influences from 60s pop, Burt Bacharach and northern soul are noted. Overall described as intimate, melancholic and sophisticated.

For:Fans of indie/chamber pop, listeners of Belle and Sebastian, admirers of orchestral 60s-influenced pop.

 Mutual reciprocal aid is the theme of the album "God Help The Girl" (Matador, 2009) and the eponymous film that would only be completed five years later.
