Our Take

Saint Etienne have returned to bless us with their latest offering, "Home Counties," and it's safe to say that this album is a delightful mix of nostalgia and modernity. The British trio has once again managed to capture the essence of suburban life in a way that only they can.

From the infectious synth-pop beats of "Dive" to the dreamy, laid-back vibes of "Magpie Eyes," every track on "Home Counties" is a treat for the ears. Sarah Cracknell's ethereal vocals float effortlessly over the lush production, creating an atmosphere that is both comforting and invigorating.

One standout track is "Whyteleafe," a bittersweet ode to lost love that showcases Saint Etienne's ability to blend melancholy lyrics with upbeat melodies. It's the kind of song that you can't help but sway along to, even as you contemplate the deeper meaning behind the words.

Overall, "Home Counties" is a fantastic addition to Saint Etienne's discography, showcasing their ability to evolve their sound while staying true to their roots. It's the perfect soundtrack for a lazy Sunday afternoon or a late-night drive through the suburbs. So put on your headphones, press play, and let Saint Etienne take you on a journey through the Home Counties and beyond. Trust me, you won't regret it.

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.
