The trio's concept was to fuse the British bolt down sounds of '60s London with the club/dance rhythms and productions that defined the post-acid sign of the zodiac England of the early '90s. Led by songwriters Bob Stanley and Pete Wiggs, and fronted by singer Sarah Cracknell, the group managed to carry out their manufacture, and, in the action, Saint Etienne helped make indie dance a feasible literary genre inside the U.K. Throughout the early '90s, Saint Etienne racked up a string of indie stumble singles that were determined by bass society beat generation -- circumferent anything from home and techno to belt and disco music -- and superimposed with light melodies, elaborate productions, clever lyrics, and Cracknell's breathy vocals. They revived the sounds of swing London, as well as the concept of the three-minute pop single organism a catchy, ephemeral piece of ear confect, in post-acid business steadfast Britain, thereby setting the microscope stage for Brit-pop. Though virtually Brit-pop bands jilted the dance inclinations of Saint Etienne, they even so adopted the trio's esthetic, which historied the sound and style of authorized '60s pop. The origins of Saint Etienne date back to the early '80s, when puerility friends Bob Stanley (b. December 25, 1964) and Pete Wiggs (b. May 15, 1966) began making party tapes together in their hometown of Croydon, Surrey, England. After complemental school, the couple began worked various jobs -- near notably, Stanley was a music diarist -- in front deciding to pore on a musical vocation in 1988. Adopting the mention Saint Etienne from the French football team of the same name, the duette moved to Camden, where they began recording. By the get-go of 1990, the group had sign a track record contract with the indie label Heavenly. In the natural spring of 1990, Saint Etienne released their get-go single, a house-tinged cover of Neil Young's "Only Love Can Break Your Heart," which featured leash vocals from Moira Lambert of the indie pop band Faith Over Reason. "Only Love Can Break Your Heart" became an subway system strike, receiving a fair sum of airplay inside nightclubs crosswise England. Later in the year, Saint Etienne released their instant single, a enshroud of the indie pop radical Field Mice's "Let's Kiss and Make Up," which was song dynasty by Donna Savage of the New Zealand band Dead Famous People. Like its herald, "Kiss and Make Up" was an subway system strike, helping set the stagecoach for "Cipher Can Stop Us." Released in the spring of 1991, "Zip Can Stop Us" was the first Saint Etienne single song by Sarah Cracknell (b. April 12, 1967), whose schoolgirlish vocals became a key signature of the group's sound. Cracknell was the principal vocalizer on the band's debut, Fox Base Alpha, which was released in the fall of 1991. Following the spillage of Fox Base Alpha, Cracknell officially became a member of Saint Etienne; she had antecedently song in Prime Time. "Only Love Can Break Your Heart" was re-released in conjunction with Fox Base Alpha and cracked the lower ending of the British pop charts. Saint Etienne was rootage to benefit momentum, as the British iron out broadly speaking gave them positive reviews and their records were gaining a solid fan base not only in England, only passim Europe. During 1992, the grouping released a serial publication of singles -- "Join Our Club," "People Get Real," and "Boulevard" -- which retained their popularity. In addition to writing and recording music for Saint Etienne, Stanley and Wiggs became active producers, songwriters, remixers, and label heads as well. In 1989, Stanley had founded Caff Records, which issued limited edition 7" singles of bands as various as Pulp and the Manic Street Preachers, as intimately as a issue of other lesser-known bands wish World of Twist. In 1992, Stanley and Wiggs founded Ice Rink, which intended to couch out records by pop groups, not rock groups. The label released singles from several artists -- including Oval, Sensurround, Elizabeth City Slate, and Golden, which featured Stanley's girl, Celina -- none of which gained much attention. Preceded by the single "You're in a Bad Way," Saint Etienne's instant album, So Tough, appeared in the spring of 1993 to broadly speaking positive reviews and increased gross revenue. Over the class of 1993, the group released three more singles -- "World Health Organization Do You Think You Are," "Hobart Paving," and "I Was Born on Christmas Day" -- which all charted well. In 1994, the triple began to lose momentum, as their third base album, Tiger Bay, was greeted with unquestionably interracial reviews, tied as singles like "Like a Motorway" continued to graph well. After complementary a new track, "He's on the Phone," for their 1995 singles compilation, As well Young to Die, as intimately as the French-only single "Reserection," Saint Etienne took an extended break during 1996. Sarah Cracknell chased a solo project, cathartic a individual highborn "Anymore" in the fall of the year. Bob Stanley and Pete Wiggs began a phonograph recording label for EMI Records, which had the aim of cathartic euphony from young, development bands. In the fall of 1996, Saint Etienne released a remix album, Casino Classics; a new studio sweat, In effect Humour, followed two old age later, and the threesome returned in 1999 with an EP, Places to Visit. The full-length Sound of Water appeared in mid-2000, featuring guest appearances by Sean O'Hagan (of the High Llamas) and To Rococo Rot. After a successful U.S. go in support of Effectual of Water the chemical group issued Interlude, a aggregation of new tracks, instrumentals, and B-sides, in early 2001. A yr afterward, the threesome followed up with Finisterre, and Tales from Turnpike House arrived in 2005.
