Search - Saint Etienne :: Tales from Turnpike House

Digitally remastered edition of the British Electronic Pop trio's 2005 album. Tales from the Turnpike House is arguably their most mature musical statement to date. An album with a concept, rather than a concept album, the titular Turnpike House refers to a fictional block of flats whose residents provide the characters for the songs that are a microcosmic portrait of metropolitan life. A beautiful, considered album with a nod to Pet Sounds and featuring David Essex, it demands to be listened to as an album and one which perfectly balances pure pop and sensitivity. Features the singles "A Good Thing" and "Side Streets". Universal.
