Sinister: saint etienne
i have been told that if you like belle & sebastian you may like this band "saint etienne." haven't heard them but... if anyone who has heard them both would like to say something to verify or attack that suggestion, i'd be happy to hear it. it doesn't even have to be in a witty or eloquent manner.

I love Belle and Sebastian and I love Saint Etienne, so I guess it's true in my case. All of the Et's records are great. Really "cool" sounding. Their latest, "Good Humor", just came out on Sub Pop (which is a weird label for them to be on) in the US (they're on Creation in the UK), and it has an extra CD of b-sides and stuff. Highly recommended by Butch Sweaters himself. N Leggatt wrote:

I've seen Belle and Sebastian mentioned several times on the Saint Etienne list, and very likely the other way around as well. Saint Etienne don't have a strong literary side, but I don't see why a fan of one wouldn't like the other. I once described Saint Etienne's album _So Tough_ as post-modern pre-Beatles pop. Their other records combine retro pop and numerous modern twists in various ways. I'd personally suggest _So Tough_ as an album. Their singles collection, _Too Young to Die_, doesn't have the coherence of their albums (except for the 1st, _Foxbase Alpha_, which is a bit of a hodgepodge). But it does collect a lot of their better songs in their single versions. --Mark __ <http://www.xnet.com/~mkolmar/BurningRome> <MPEG 3 & RealAudio tracks> October 19th: SENSELESS CD on Mindfield Records MindCD03 Cathartium 14 +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
