For:Fans of British indie-pop, melodic electronic and retro-influenced pop

 This, at least for me, unknown London band, which borrows its name from the French football team of the same name, was founded by a duo of friends active in the British musical world (as DJs and journalists).

 This is a concept album, a rather unusual concept as it does not draw inspiration from history or literature rather than cinema or science fiction, but from simple glimpses of everyday life.

 The Saint Etienne (Sarah Cracknell on vocals, Pete Wiggs and Bob Stanley on the rest) have been the quintessence of British synth-pop for years: stylish, discreet, smiling, pastel-colored like the late queen mother, they are the bright and joyful face of pop.
