| | Opus // Music Reviews // Saint Etienne - Tales From Turnpike House (2006, Savoy Jazz) |
 | | Listening to Saint Etienne made you believe, with every fiber of your being, that true love could be found on the dancefloor, that all of the lonely souls out wandering the city until 3:00am seeking romance and community would eventually find both, and so much more. |
 | | Listening to Saint Etienne, as they chronicled not just the heady rush of the club, but also the morning after, and the neighborhoods, townhouses, and apartments in which the folks in their songs found themselves as their lives played out, you became convinced that London was one of the most magical places on Earth. |
 | | It’s Saint Etienne at perhaps their most exposed, stripped of any semblance of pop music, and yet the fact that the song is no less affecting or engaging is just one more testament to their greatness, not just as a pop group, but as artists. |
