I previously reported that a new Belle & Sebastian record was due this year, a concept album about a girl who falls in love with a swimming pool attendant.
Turns out I wasn't quite right. The record is a "story set to music" and it is created by Stuart Murdoch, as a solo project of sorts, albeit one with several guest vocalists. It is called 'God Help The Girl' and is out on Rough Trade in June.
You can hear a track from it, called 'Come Monday Night', at http://www.godhelpthegirl.com/
Its rather lovely and a nice taster for the LP.
In other news, TracksandGigs is now on Twitter, username: tinderplank. I may post first impressions of albums and gigs etc there, so should you be so inclined you could check that out.
A review of the new Bill Callahan album should appear here in the next couple of days.
