Belle and Sebastian's Stuart Murdoch has told the NME that their upcoming project with Frankie Goes To Hollywood and TATU producer Trevor Horn came about via the woman who cleaned his caravan at the Coachella Festival last year. Murdoch says: "The woman who was cleaning our caravan said she knew Trevor because she was his housekeeper in LA, and that he was interested in working with us. I actually doubted whether she knew him at all, to be honest, and we never heard anything else for six months. And then he got in touch."
"It was clear we needed a producer because we were getting more ambitious," he added. "We've been taking longer and longer to record our records so we needed someone to help get things done. Trevor's the gaffer."
