International

Description

The legendary British trio bows out with their final albumSaint Etienne's new album, International, is their last statement in album format, after a 35-year adventure through pop. A dreamlike drift with friends and collaborators, International features appearances from the highest spheres of pop — heroes of the 80s charts, electro, acid house, and everything that connects these worlds, from Vince Clarke to Nick Heyward, from Confidence Man to Erol Alkan, from the Chemical Brothers to Orbital, Doves and Xenomania, all the way to the lesser-known but equally exhilarating Augustin Bousfield and Flash Cassette.Saint Etienne is the 90s band that never left us, that never imploded, and that never gave in to caricatured excess. They are proof that you can get along, keep creating something new, and, of course, pull it off with panache.
