Saint Etienne - Tales From Turnpike House

For all that they proudly wear their varied patchwork of influences (60s pop, 90s disco, general indie), Saint Etienne only ever really sound like themselves, and 2005's Tales From Turnpike House is unmistakably a Saint Etienne record. It's a good one, too, very much from the pop end of their palette, with plenty of nice, wistful melodies.
