Belle and Sebastian - God Help the Girl- BBC Sessions, Volume 10: 2009

Just what is "God Help the Girl?" I've posted a stray tracks album by this group, but I'll explain again anyway. This was a side project of the main singer and songwriter of Belle and Sebastian, Stuart Murdoch. In 2009, instead of putting out another Belle and Sebastian album, he wrote a bunch of songs from a female point of view meant to be sung by women. The band put out an album in 2009, as well as an EP. They didn't do anything else as a band after that, but the project continued as a movie by the same title, written and directed by Murdoch, which was released in 2014.

Anyway, since this wasn't a "real" band, but a Murdoch side project, it seems they didn't do much touring. However, at least one short concert took place, which was recorded and broadcast by the BBC. That makes up all but the last three songs here. Murdoch was there and talked some, but left all the lead vocals to the female singers. Neil Hannon of the bands Divine Comedy and the Duckworth Lewis Method joined in for one song at the end of the concert. 

The last three songs come from a proper BBC studio session. Two of those three songs were also done in the concert, but I've included both versions of them anyway.

In my opinion, God Help the Girl was basically Belle and Sebastian but with different lead vocalists. So I'm including this in the long series of Belle and Sebastian BBC albums.

This album is 35 minutes long.
