Erasure - Snow Globe

We said we'd be back if there was good enough reason... And the release of Saint Etienne's final album is reason enough for us. Then add Pete and Sarah from the band to the mix, as well as some words from album contributors Nick Heyward and Erol Alkan, and you have the makings of what is perhaps our most bittersweet episode yet. (Even more than our "final" episode!)Let us know what you think to the episode and the album @trackbytrackuk on Instagram or Threads, or ping us an email at [email protected] Hosted on Acast.
