Record Review - God Help The Girl's God Help The Girl

Upon first listen, Stuart Murdoch's grandiose film soundtrack to his upcoming feature film God Help The Girl sounded to me like the result of London rock/r&b nonet Do Me Bad Things covering Belle & Sebastian songs in a session produced by the Dears' Murray Lightburn. On second listen, it sounded more like the result of Phil Spector conducting a ballet. On third listen, it sounded like a letter to every girl I've ever loved from afar. On fourth listen, God Help The Girl sounded like smiling in a refreshing summer rain.

If you've ever wondered what Belle & Sebastian would sound like if the drums and guitar were replaced with an orchestra, or what love sounded like without all the sex, or what sex sounded like without all the worry and deceit, God Help The Girl is a good start to finding your answers.
