Wow... This is flowing out of my speakers like angelserum. Presumably driving the neighbours mad, cos I've had it on repeat since I first heard it. But no, how could you not love this sonic prettiness?
This is usual pretty Saint Etienne making music like the soundtrack to a sunfilled day by the seaside or an Italian 60's movie. In fact, if the title track is speeding along the road in an open-top car, track two 'Andersen Unbound' is getting out of the car, playing kiss chase in the sand and getting ice cream everywhere, whilst track 3 '7Summers', finds you winding down on a blanket with a drink and sunglasses, getting high on summer and that way that sunlight glistens up in the air like little crystals...
Their recent work with German electronica outfit To Rococo Rot shows on this single, particularily the last two tracks, but the press release claims this is the band doing 'Nu Goth'. Hmm. Nu Goth for glitterflies, maybe...
The single can currently be previewed in our e-content section.
