Girl Upstairs is a concept album that chronicles
the lives of three misfits - a stalker, a
stripper, and a semi-successful musician and
how their lives are intertwined in an unlikely
love triangle. Gus, is hopelessly in love with a
stripper, Brit, who lives upstairs from him in
their small-town Texas apartment complex. The
irony of their living situation is that Brit
doesn t even know Gus name. For her part, Brit
is excessively devoted to her musician boyfriend
Dutch, who rewards her devotion by refusing to
say the words I love you. Gus, the protagonist
of the story, hangs on to his sanity by a thread
as he is confronted by the reality of the sounds
of Dutch making love to Brit in the room above
him at night. But the delusional, protective part
of Gus brain is convinced that Brit s love can
and will always be solely reserved for him
Each song on the album was written from the point
of view of one of the three characters, as
demonstrated by the three sets of handwriting on
the insert booklet. The cartoonish style of the
album artwork was intended to represent the lack
of lucidity of Gus mental state, as well as to
create a whimsical feel of innocence in contrast
to what is in reality a darkly-themed album.
