“We never became so famous that we hated each other or fell out”: Saint Etienne on longevity, studio technology and recording their final album, International

Saint Etienne on studio technology and recording International.

“Recording the last track on the album made us all cry and crying while singing was a bit tricky,” laughs Saint Etienne vocalist Sarah Cracknell. “But that’s when it really hit us that this was the end.”

Saint Etienne have been a fixture in leftfield pop circles for decades but have announced that their next album, International, due for release this September, will be their final one together.
