Normally, press quotes are fairly tedious, anonymous affairs – designed to give you a glimpse of what you want to know without actually revealing anything. However when said press quotes come from Saint Etienne, you can bet they will be worth reading.
Bob Stanley claims that the album is inspired by “how music affects your life. How it defines the way you see the world as a child, how it can get you through bad times in unexpected ways, and how songs you’ve known all your life can suddenly develop a new attachment, and hurt every time you hear them. More than how it affects and reflects your life though the album is about believing in music, living your life by its rules”.
