What I like most about Saint Etienne is that they always maintain their style: a retro touch, a pop sparkle and loads of melodic happiness in their tracks and finisterre is no exception. Extremely well made music it deffinitely ranks among the best electronic bands ever and their music is always spirit upliftin.
Believe it or not the Et are one of the best live bands ever. Forget the 'two blokes behind keyboards and a dolly-bird singer that can't really sing' - I thought the same thing before I first went to see them. How wrong I was - they are a full live band setup and Sarah Cracknell is an unbelievably good singer. I was stunned. The whole thing was religious experience and has ruined all their records for me because as a live act they are so much more powerful.
