Saint Etienne's "Dive"






90's British band Saint Etienne has been burning and churning hot musique since and fast forward 20 + years their still making butter. Vocalist Sarah Cracknell along with songwriting partners Guy Batson and Johnny Male triumphantly return with "Home Counties," their first album in years.

Entitled "Dive", the band’s own starlet Sarah Cracknell had the following to chit chat:

“I started writing ‘Dive’ with Carwyn Ellis in early 2016, we’d worked on my solo album together and were on a bit of a roll. I love the final result, it reminds me of care free summer days growing up in Home Counties Windsor fooling around on the Thames. My favorite song on the Dive EP is ‘Obvious’ which is about leaving your hometown and boomeranging back later in life. It’s something that didn’t happen to me but so many of my old friends have returned to Windsor or infact never left. I envy the fact that they meet up together in the same pubs we used to hang out in our teens. That would be a welcome treat right now as I’m missing my recently departed friend Mick Bund. This release is dedicated to him.”






The English natives are also serving up a remix CD and 12-inch that comes with new “Dive” mixes helmed by the likes of, "Colorama & Shawn Lee, Greg Wilson & Derek Kaye and Matt Berry."
