I heard a new song, "Milkbottle Symphony". It's very clever, but I'm not sure if I could listen to a whole album. Would you recommend buying it?

A lot of my friends used to be into St Etienne, I never really was. I don't actually like Sarah Craknell's voice much. I wouldn't reccommend them myself, but it's not like I despise them.

I bought two of their relatively recent albums sometime ago (I haven't bought the new one yet), but used them for part-exchange to obtain something else in a music shop. BUT I still enjoy listening to their best, "smash the system" now and again. I personally like their first album "fox base alpha" best..

Fox Base Alpha stood out from the rest of pop when it came out. The band kind of dipped under the radar for me after that. "La la la la la la just as she pours the tea....a milkbottle symphony..."
