Saint Etienne Home Counties

Music enthusiasts who are not that much in favour of the music Saint Etienne make, usually say that they are just a modernised version of ABBA. I’m not that familiar with what the trio think about such a comparison, but I’d guess they might be even thankful. I’m sure that they wouldn’t mind that level of success and the financial benefits that come along with it. Ok, I might add to that, if you want to categorise Saint Etienne with ABBA, call them the thinking man’s ABBA. They are still one of the rare bands that are able to come up with perfect pop that makes sense, both musically and lyrically.
