Lounging on the South Coast of the UK, The Self Help Group have spent the last 12 years producing 2 albums, a raft of singles, countless live shows and 13 children. With what little energy they have remaining, they return in 2023 with a new studio album, “Dream of a Ghost” which brings the listener more strange stories of love, loss and obsession. All delivered with their trademark Americana schooled vocal harmonies and intertwining melodies, now bolstered with an occasional bleeping synthesiser. "Sometimes dark, sometimes shimmering with light, the band take the lives of others and, in their telling or adaptation, bring insightful, poignant and compassionate observations that touch on what it means to be human, enfolding these in melodies that draw on the very best of classic West Coast Americana...." Folk Radio UK   "‘Dead Stars’ will satisfy your soul and lead you to a higher plane."  Penny Black Music   "Gorgeous" BBC Radio Ulster   "...more jewels than a Spanish Armada, all wrapped in melodic gold." Fresh on The Net   "Creates joy out of a dark and melancholy story" Brighton Source   "Brilliant sophomore effort" FATEA
