Saint Etienne’s first big hit was a 1990 dance-pop remake of Neil Young’s “Only Love Can Break Your Heart.” In the two years between that first single and the band’s first album, Foxbase Alpha, Saint Etienne picked up Sarah Cracknell and dropped some of the more overt eurotrash dancefloor sounds. Thus was born the band’s signature sound, their brave new world in evidence on their next big single, “Nothing Can Stop Us.”

When reviews of Saint Etienne’s latest album, Finisterre, talk about a return to the glory days, they pretty much mean this song: swinging sixties London plus 90s indie dance equals an addictive, breezy pop classic that served as the Saint Etienne manifesto until Good Humor. Most bands would kill to have this on their resume. (Kylie Minogue essentially did a karaoke version of this very song on her “Confide In Me” single in 1994, showing that she at least had decent taste back then.)
