Do you remember that special alchemy that transforms even the most mundane of experiences - walking home with the headphones on at night, sitting in a bedroom with your friends in the day, getting ready to go out on the weekend - into a lingering moment of seamless enchantment, one that resonates for the rest of your life?
Our new album, Words and Music by Saint Etienne, is about that.
About how music affects your life.
How it defines the way you see the world as a child.
How it can get you through bad times in unexpected ways.
How songs you've known all your life can suddenly develop a new attachment and hurt every time you hear them.
More than how it affects and reflects your life though, the album is about believing in music, living your life by its rules.
The album will be released on 21st May on CD, 2CD Deluxe Edition, LP and a special boxset version.

Tonight
??
Like the album it’s taken from, first single “Tonight” is all about the primal and atavistic pull that all good pop music exerts, about how the unadulterated thrill of a great band or gig can sometimes feel like a hotline straight to your heart.
In Bob Stanley’s own words, “’Tonight’ is about the anticipation of going to see your favourite group. For some reason, I imagine this show is at the Forum in Kentish Town. The whole album is about the power of pop, how it affects and shapes your life”. Produced by Xenomania lynchpin Tim Powell (Girls Aloud, Kylie, Sugababes) and mixed by Richard X, this 7" is limited to 1,000 copies worldwide and comes with an exclusive b-side.
