Description
How We Used Saint Etienne to Live is a story about memories and music, told in reverse chronological order. It's a tale that explores how we make sense of our pasts, and what happens when those methods become outdated.
The book delves into the creative process behind British indie favourites Saint Etienne, featuring original interviews with Bob Stanley, Pete Wiggs and Sarah Cracknell. You'll discover the methods they use to remember, manipulate history and nostalgia, and how these techniques shape their music.
With a mix of concrete facts and flights of fancy, this book offers a unique perspective on the power of memory and creativity. Expect a candid look at Saint Etienne's minds at work, as well as selective recollections and shameless revisionism.
