"I'm so sad to hear the news that Janice Long has died. She was always such a champion of Saint Etienne, myself and female artists generally. She was warm hearted, funny and loved music - I'll miss her so much." Sarah Cracknell - 26th December (janicelong, janicelongDJ, sarahcracknell, saintetienne, asaddayformusic) |

Happy Christmas from Saint Etienne We just wanted to say a massive thanks to everyone who supported us this year and all the kind words you've said about our new album and film 'I've Been Trying To Tell You' and Christmas single 'Her Winter Coat'. It was an honour to be Rough Trade's album of the month and celebrate Alasdair McLellan's film with a weekend of screenings at the BFI Southbank. Thanks also to everyone who came out to see us play live in November. Here's wishing you all a really Happy Christmas! We look forward to seeing you in 2022. Love, Bob, Pete and Sarah xxx PS. If you want some festive tunes to listen to over the holiday season follow the link in the bio. |

The Number One Song In Heaven For 7 days only we've managed to knock Elton and Ed off the top spot. It may only be the physical sales chart but we're also in at number 3. Thanks to everyone who has bought 'Her Winter Coat' and 'A Kiss Like This' and a special thank you to Alasdair McLellan for making such a beautiful film to accompany it. Please have a wonderful Christmas and stay safe.

Where are you Charlie Brown? "I really like this picture of me with our old stage manager Charlie Brown. I'm guessing it was taken backstage somewhere in '93 or '94. Charlie was a sweetheart and went on to work for erm.. Morrissey after us and we lost touch in the early 00's. Come in Charlie Brown! If you're out there we'd love to hear from you."

Flexi Pop Our brand new single 'Her Winter Coat' is out today! We love Christmas as you probably know and it feels like it's been a while since our last really Christmasy Christmas record. Well here it is!! Due to impossibly long lead times on vinyl pressings we opted for two flexi discs and a 5 track CDEP for those who prefer physical product. We're really pleased with the way these have turned out and the limited edition flexi's - one green and one red - even come with special insert covers and free download codes. The CDEP includes the full length version and an edit of 'Her Winter Coat' plus two brand new songs 'A Kiss Like This' and 'Lillehammer'. These can be picked up from all good record shops or directly from our Saint Etienne online music shop - for instant dispatch - at: https://saintetienne.ochre.store (link in bio) All proceeds from this release go to the Trussell Trust who are helping to fight hunger for the poor and under privileged. If you haven't seen Alasdair McLellan's stunning film for 'Her Winter Coat' yet please check it out on Youtube. We hope you like the single and want to take this opportunity to wish everyone a really special Christmas. Lots of love, Bob, Pete and Sarah xx (xmas21, herwintercoat, akisslikethis, lillehammer, saintetienne, bobpeteandsarah, with, photography, and, film, by, alasdairmclellan, CDdesignby, m/m(paris), mmparisdotcom, mmparis, christmassingle, flexidisc, trusselltrust, saintetienneofficial, xmas2021) |

London 2001 "This was taken by Eva Vermandel around the time of Finisterre. We were in an old cinema in Greenwich and clearly having a good laugh as usual. Rare to see me in a skirt though. Liking the tweed and leather jacket look - wintery vibes." Sarah Cracknell - 9th December 2021 What's your favourite song from Finisterre and why?
