Review by scoundrel Sep 04, 2005 (edited over 4 years ago)

Not the strongest tracks from Saint Etienne here on their EP, PLACES TO VISIT. The whole affair seemed too low-key for me, from the rather aimless openers "Ivyhouse" and "52 Pilot" and the closer "Half Timbered" to the wan house of "We're in the City." "Artieripp" is interesting at first, but seems like an interlude that's been stretched a bit too far. On the other hand, "Sadie's Anniversary" has some charm in its spare arrangements. This is an EP of throwaways, but it's worth noting that throwaways from Saint Etienne are still hand and shoulders above the belaboured pop on the radio.
