I remember being completely obsessed by ‘Rock On’ with David Essex because that had a mad production, if you think about it. I like it when you use instruments that aren’t used that often and you can effect an instrument in a way that it doesn’t sound like its original self, making a feature out of sounds you’re not used to hearing. Yeah, definitely, I like interesting production. You mentioned The Beach Boys and Brian Wilson in particular in terms of production. Probably stuff that I rejected for a bit then I came back to. With my parent’s music being around there was a lot of T Rex, The Beatles, The Carpenters and The Beach Boys so some stuff I still like now. And Siouxsie Sioux was another one and she still looks pretty amazing actually, I saw her not that long ago. She was because she was seen as being an equal part of the band. I was a proper music fan and obsessed with TOTP and Smash Hits. They don’t necessarily know about the whole thing about the band, like what they look like and what they’re into.
Sarah Cracknell: Yeah, I do still feel a nostalgia for that and I also think that people nowadays cherry-pick songs and tracks. Rich Jevons: In the last Saint Etienne album Words & Music it describes you as a teen listening to music in your bedroom. Culture Vulture’s Rich Jevons takes a trip to Holmfirth to talk to Saint Etienne’s Sarah Cracknell who this month releases her new solo album ‘Red Kite’ and plays at City Varieties Music Hall, Leeds.
