Backed by a 45-piece orchestra and joined by some of his friends from Belle and Sebastian, Neil Hannon of The Divine Comedy and singer Catherine Ireton, Stuart Murdoch has announced details of his forthcoming solo album, God Help The Girl. The album is a musical narrative (a story set to song) and will feature new songs next to reworkings of Belle and Sebastian songs from their last album, The Life Pursuit. The full tracklisting is below, with guest vocalists noted:
01. Act of the Apostle (Catherine Ireton)
02. God Help the Girl (Catherine Ireton)
03. Pretty Eve in the Tub (Stuart Murdoch and Catherine Ireton)
04. A Unified Theory (Instrumental)
05. Hiding Neath My Umbrella (Catherine Ireton and Stuart Murdoch)
06. Funny Little Frog (Brittany Stallings)
07. If You Could Speak (Catherine Ireton and Anna Miles)
08. Musician Please Take Heed (Catherine Ireton)
09. Perfection as a Hipster (Neil Hannon and Catherine Ireton)
10. Come Monday Night (Catherine Ireton)
11. Music Room Window (Instrumental)
12. I Just Want His Jeans (Asya)
13. I’ll Have to Dance With Cassie (Catherine Ireton)
14. A Down and Dusky Blonde (Dina Bankole, Catherine Ireton, Celia Garcia, Brittany Stallings, Asya)
“Come Monday Night” will be the lead single, backed by a curiously titled track called “Howard Jones Is My Mozart”. That’s one song I’m dying to here.
