• Track Listing

2012 release from the British Electronic Pop trio, their first album in seven years and their eighth studio album overall. Words And Music By Saint Etienne features collaborations from long-time Saint Etienne associate Ian Catt, as well as producer Richard X and Nick Coler. Words And Music By Saint Etienne is an album about how music affects your life. How it defines the way you see the world as a child, how it can get you through bad times in unexpected ways, and how songs you've known all your life can suddenly develop a new attachment, and hurt every time you hear them. More than how it affects and reflects your life, though, the album is about believing in music, living your life by it's rules.
