Saint Etienne still believe in pop, though, and Home Counties is delicious restatement of core values - if anything, it's a more accomplished return to the sound and working methods of the Saint Etienne so many people fell in love with in he early 1990s, aided by producer Shawn Lee (Young Gun Silver Fox). "It's a return to the way we used to write stuff," Wiggs says, "singing stuff back to him and asking if he could recreate it. Which he could."
For some years now, when Saint Etienne go into the studio, one or other member will fear it is for the last time, that they won't be back. The record gets finished, and the three members - still, after all this time, quite evidently friends in a way that groups who ruthlessly pursue success are not - drift apart, come together again for the occasional show and tour, drift apart again. And then five years have passed ... "and we get itchy feet", as Cracknell puts it.
Thank heaven for those itchy feet. And welcome back to suburbia, Saint Etienne.
