Saint Etienne - International

Pre-Order. Released 5th September, via Heavenly

Saint Etienne’s new album, International, is their final album-length statement, after
the group’s 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 “sitting somewhere
between Funkadelic and a SEGA Mega Drive”). Saint Etienne are the 90s band who
never left us, never imploded, and never adhered to clichéd excess. They are a
testament to getting along, getting on with creating something new and, of course,
getting away with it.
