International: Orange Vinyl LP
Saint Etienneâs new album, International, is their final album-length statement, after the groupâs 35-year excursion through pop. A dreamlike drift with friends and collaborators, International features cameos from the higher echelons of pop - 80s chart heroes, electro, acid house and all points in-between, from Vince Clarke to Nick Heyward, Confidence Man to Erol Alkan, Chemical Brothers, Orbital, Doves and Xenomania, through to the lesser known, but equally exhilarating Bradfordians Augustin Bousfield and Flash Cassette (an artist described as âsitting somewhere between Funkadelic and a SEGA Mega Driveâ). Saint Etienne are the 90s band who never left us, never imploded, and never adhered to clichĂ©d excess. They are a testament to getting along, getting on with creating something new and, of course, getting away with it.
