Saint Etienne announce their final album, International

Co-written and produced with Tom Rowlands of the Chemical Brothers, the track also features Jez Williams from Doves on guitar.

"We asked Tom if he had any songs in progress that might suit Saint Etienne and he sent a backing track that he’d been working on with Jez from Doves. We fell in love with it straight away and the top line melody and words for ‘Glad' came easy," says Sarah Cracknell. "The song is about taking pleasure in everyday things like nature and the outdoors when life is otherwise getting you down," adds Pete Wiggs.

Bob Stanley and Pete Wiggs have known each other since childhood and started the group in 1990 with their classic cover of Neil Young’s "Only Love Can Break Your Heart". Sarah Cracknell joined for their third single "Nothing Can Stop Us" and the Foxbase Alpha album in 1991. Since then they have branched out into films, books and curation, and became artists in residence at the Southbank Centre. The group simply feels it is now time to draw a line under new recordings.
