Pro Reviews: Foxbase Alpha

  • All Music Guide

    Despite a handful of classic pop singles, Saint Etienne's debut album Fox Base Alpha is a tentative fusion of club culture and swinging '60s pop. Lead vocalist Sarah Cracknell hasn't been fully integrated into the band's lineup she doesn't even sing on their astonishing Eurodisco cover of Neil Young's "Only Love Will Break Your Heart," which is not only cleverly ironic, but also works yet the filler remains thoroughly enjoyable, even if it rarely reaches the heights of the irresistible girlgroup pop of "Kiss and Make Up."

Biography

Saint Etienne

Like most bands formed by former music journalists, Saint Etienne were a highly conceptual group. The trio's concept was to fuse the British pop sounds of '60s London with the club/dance rhythms and productions that defined the postacid house England of the early '90s.
