Synth-pop
Synth-pop

Saint Etienne is a Synth-pop act. Their sound grew out of Matt Berry, Shara Nelson, Faze Action, Étienne Daho and Margo Guryan. Those roots explain a lot about how Saint Etienne arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Annie, Everything But the Girl, Pet Shop Boys, Ivy and Deee-Lite, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Ivy, Little Barrie, The Charlatans, Paul van Dyk and David Essex, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 44 connections around Saint Etienne, reaching back through Matt Berry and forward to Ivy.
