New God Help The Girl track - 'Mary's Market'

Recorded as recently as last weekend, God Help The Girl (ostensibly Belle & Sebastian with guest female vocalists) have announced details of a new song on their site. This is what Stuart Murdoch had to say about it;

Hi folks

We have a new track for you. It’s called ‘Mary’s Market’, and we recorded it last weekend. It’s going to be the B-side to the ‘Funny Little Frog’ single, but we thought we’d let you hear it since the weather’s nice here, and we’re in a good mood, and it seems to match the weather!

The picture to go with the track features the stylish Scottish BBC newsreader, Mary Marquis. When I was writing the song, I wrote the lines

You showed me yesterday’s dress
The one you nicked from Mary’s Market

And it kind of sounded like Mary Marquis, so she gets to go on the cover! It kind of amuses me to think of the girl in the song nicking a frock from Mary Marquis, as it would probably be a frock worth nicking! (As you can see from the picture)

So enjoy the song, which you can download from here, and probably myspace too:
