Sequential Saint Etienne


I stuck on Too Young to Die - the album featuring the early singles of Saint Etienne a week or so ago and thought I should share some of it with you.
On checking the back catalogue to ensure I was not duplicating any tracks I was quite surprised to notice that they have appeared on these pages once  a year since 2013.
Surprised given that I would not consider myself a huge fan, I only have two albums and a single of theirs plus I can't say that I play them all that often.

Time to maintain the sequence though.

Saint Etienne - Kiss And Make Up

Saint Etienne - People Get Real

  1. I knew the band's name but not their music. Kiss And Make Up was a bit too plodding for my tastes but "People Get Real" was good old frothy fun pop.

  6. Saint Etienne CDs are always affordably cheap in the shops I frequent. They're one of those bands I always think I like and yet when I listen to 'em I question why. They had that impeccable start to their career when they covered Only Love Can Break Your Heart. I love reading Bob Stanley's columns/articles, he knows what he's talking about (mainly pop chart stufff 'n soul). Sarah Cracknell is just lovely and her/their seductive cover of La Poupee on an early Later will always keep them high profile in my mind if only to ultimately disappoint.
