Saint Etienne - Her Winter Coat
It's almost that time of year again and as usual Saint Etienne have news to tell you.
Firstly, they're releasing a Christmas single in December that goes on pre-sale via our online music shop from 5pm (UK time) this Friday 19th November here.
It's called Her Winter Coat and will be accompanied by a beautiful new film by Alasdair McLellan.
Bob Stanley: "We love Christmas, as you probably know, and it feels like it's been a while since our last really Christmassy Christmas record. But I think Pete has done a properly beautiful, icy, frosted, festive job on 'Her Winter Coat'. Alasdair's film for it is the icing on the yule log. I hope you love it as much as I do. We're really looking forward to playing it live!"
Pete Wiggs: "To complement 'Her Winter Coat', Sarah and Gus Bousfield have come up with the incredibly catchy 'A Kiss Like This', laden with swirling hibernal synths, and for a touch of Cold War frost we have the brooding melancholy instrumental 'Lillehammer' to complete the package. Hope you love 'em all!"
Due to current lead times on pressing vinyl they'll be releasing the single as a four track CD EP plus two flexi discs - in Christmassy green for 'Her Winter Coat' and red for 'A Kiss Like This'. All three will be available to buy individually or as a bundle and we've decided to donate all proceeds from sales to the The Trussell Trust who do amazing work preventing hunger across the UK.
Armed with an astute sense of what constitutes the ‘classic pop song’ (famously proclaiming that they write music ‘to make girls dance to’) the music of Franz Ferdinand continues to resonate globally and over the course of nearly two decades they’ve become, commercially and critically, one of the biggest UK bands in the world with over ten million albums sold and counting.
Released on Friday March 11th 2022 on Domino, 'Hits To The Head' features 18 classic Franz Ferdinand tracks, plus two brand-new tracks Billy Goodbye and Curious, produced by Alex Kapranos, Julian Corrie and Stuart Price (Dua Lipa, Madonna, Pet Shop Boys).
Double vinyl in a gatefold sleeve with 16 page booklet featuring liner notes by JD Beauvallet (Les InRocks), lyrics & exclusive photos.

CD1 features the album, accompanied by five bonus tracks: the B-sides 'Bide Your Time' and 'Nice To Know', 7" single versions of 'She Sells' and 'May This Be Your Last Sorrow' plus the extended 'Slightly Wacky Mix' of 'This Is Your Life'.
CD2 is crammed full of remixes including six versions of their top 20 hit single 'This Is Your Life' remixed by Heller & Farley and Less Stress, plus three 12" only Italian remixes from Joe T Vannelli and others. Two Apollo 440 remixes of the band's second single, 'She Sells' feature, together with an alternative 7" version and Less Stress and Smith & Mighty remixes of 'May This Be Your Last Sorrow'.
The fold-out four-panel digipack expands and reworks the striking original album artwork and includes a booklet with track commentaries written by Sally and Caroline plus an interview conducted by Jimmy Somerville, an old friend of the duo.
This is the definitive collection of the band's output and celebrates their lasting legacy 30 years on.
