Saint Etienne are a long-running English band formed in 1990, known for their blend of indie pop, electronic dance music, and sample-heavy production. They emerged from the UK's dance-pop and indie scenes of the early 90s. This album, "I've Been Trying to Tell You", arrived after a six-year gap in studio album releases, marking a return to their signature sound.
