Poetic Wax: Music History Hidden in the GroovesSaint Etienne’s Forgotten Gem: A Love Letter to British SuburbiaWhat happens when a pop band turns a London council block into a concept album? In 2005, Saint Etienne released "Tales from Turnpike House," a quietly radical record that captured the rhythms, routines, and quiet poetry of suburban life. Today we explore the album’s architectural inspiration, its place in the revival of the concept album, and how it laid the groundwork for Saint Etienne’s later work.
