God Help The Girl
Belle and Sebastian is the band that never stopped putting out amazing records. We all love them, and we all therefore predict love for Stuart Murdoch's new offering, God Help The Girl. This film and music project was imagined years ago, but only recently conceived.
We have been graced with a new album comprised of new songs and even some re-recorded classics, but here's the kicker - the album is a loose narrative and the girls all look as good as the ones on previous B&S covers. With the script in its final draft, all you need to do now is wait for the movie.

About
SixThousand is a subcultural guide to Perth, published daily and fired by email weekly. It is compiled by an amorphous gaggle of Perth writers, stylists, designers and photographers who all like huddling under that big umbrella we like to call creativity. Without editorial independence SixThousand has nothing. All editorial you read is featured because it's worth it - not because it's paid for.
