A ground-breaking blend of electronica and orchestration with traditional folk melodies, Tiger Bay, their third studio album, was originally released on 28th February 1994 on Heavenly. Self-produced by the band and engineered by long-time collaborator Ian Catt, the album also features input from Underworlds Rick Smith, orchestral arrangements by renowned composer David Whitaker (Serge Gainsbourg, Marianne Faithfull, Air) and vocal contributions from Shara Nelson and Stephen Duffy amongst others. Saint Etienne set themselves a bold challenge for their third album. No more records about London; no more samples of music they loved, or snippets of film dialogue between tracks. They would change the genes of their music, swapping the helix of Madchester meets Swinging London meets indiepop for one in which Belgian techno was spliced with folk music. Tiger Bay was intended to be nothing less than the sound of folk music reimagined for the last years of the 20th century and their brilliant reinvention of folk rock for the electronic age might not have resulted in an invitation to headline Fairports Cropredy Convention, but it gave them their best album yet. But within months of Tiger Bays release, British independent music had changed direction abruptly, as Britpop instead came to mean guitar bands in Fred Perry, lads with Weller haircuts, unremarkable singers of both sexes proclaiming their will to greatness, despite the complete absence of evidence to support their boasts. And so Tiger Bay slipped beneath the sands, neither an indelible hit nor a memorable flop. But that gives it a staying power, perhaps, that its predecessors lack: it doesnt sound of its moment in the same way Foxbase Alpha and So Tough do. ![]()
