In the making for some years now has been a sequel to SAINT ETIENNE PRESENT SONGS FOR MARIO'S CAFE. Having soundtracked fabled daytime haunts, we are now ready to plough on into the evening with SAINT ETIENNE PRESENT SONGS FOR THE DOG & DUCK. The Dog & Duck was the fabled Heavenly hang out, an extension of their office after 5pm. It doesn't have a jukebox but if it did we'd like it to sound something like this, a healthy mix of soul, r&r, pop, glam, girl groups, plus Bill Oddie's lost tortured classic. Raucous, melancholy, tearful, the whole panoply.
It's out on Ace on October 26th. The third part of the trilogy will hopefully arrive some time next year. It looks like this...
