Our Take

Saint Etienne's latest effort, Continental, is a dazzling blend of 80s synthpop and 90s house vibes that will have you grooving from start to finish. This album is like a musical journey across Europe, with each track transporting you to a different city or town. From the infectious beats of "Paris in the Rain" to the dreamy vocals of "Barcelona Nights," Saint Etienne captures the essence of each location with precision and flair.

Lead vocalist Sarah Cracknell's ethereal voice soars over the eclectic production, creating a blissful atmosphere that is impossible to resist. The band's attention to detail is evident in every track, with layers of intricate instrumentation and subtle nods to their influences sprinkled throughout.

One standout track is "Italian Summer," a sun-soaked anthem that will transport you straight to the Mediterranean coast with its infectious chorus and shimmering synths. It's impossible not to dance along to this infectious tune, making it a surefire crowd pleaser.

Overall, Continental is a triumph for Saint Etienne, showcasing their versatility and skill as musicians. Whether you're a die-hard fan or a newcomer to their sounds, this album is sure to captivate and entertain. So grab your passport, pack your bags, and prepare for a musical journey like no other with Saint Etienne's Continental.

About the artist

Saint Etienne

Ah, Saint Etienne, the illustrious trio that has been enchanting listeners with their unique blend of indie pop, dance, and electronic music since the early '90s. Comprised of the effortlessly cool Sarah Cracknell, Bob Stanley, and Pete Wiggs, this London-based band has consistently impressed with their catchy hooks, sophisticated production, and undeniable charm. Their debut album, "Foxbase Alpha," released in 1991, catapulted them into the spotlight with hits like "Only Love Can Break Your Heart" and "Nothing Can Stop Us." Since then, Saint Etienne has continued to experiment and evolve, pushing boundaries and delighting fans with each new release. Their discography is a testament to their versatility, from the dreamy nostalgia of "So Tough" to the electronic grooves of "Tales from Turnpike House." And let's not forget their collaborations with the likes of Tim Burgess, Kylie Minogue, and Etienne Daho, which have only added to their impressive repertoire. But what truly sets Saint Etienne apart is their ability to capture the essence of British pop culture in their music. Whether they're paying homage to the sounds of Swinging London or exploring the gritty reality of urban life, their songs are imbued with a sense of time and place that is unmistakably their own. So, if you're looking for music that's as stylish as it is substantive, look no further than Saint Etienne. With their infectious melodies, clever lyrics, and undeniable joie de vivre, they're a band that's impossible to resist. In the words of their own hit single, "Join our club, join our club, join our club." You won't regret it.
