Finisterre

Saint Etienne

A cinematic love letter to London's hidden corners. Shimmering synth-pop meets documentary narration and field recordings in a beautifully grey urban daydream.

August 7, 2002 · Sonic Records (2)

Find on Amazon

A sophisticated, urban melancholy that finds romance in the greyest corners of the city.

Moments Worth Listening For
The way the Michael Jayston narration bridges the gap between tracks, making the album feel like a documentary film.
The sudden, sharp electronic pulse of 'Action' cutting through the atmospheric haze.
The melancholic, acoustic-led drift of 'The More You Know' that feels like a sunset over a grey skyline.
