Ahead of their final studio album coming out in September, we’re saying a fond farewell to SAINT ETIENNE with this month’s Electronic Sound cover story and an exclusive blue vinyl seven-inch from the group. One side is a sparkling new offering and other is the track that launched the band way back in 1990. It’s incredible to think that it’s 35 years since Saint Etienne released their groovy version of Neil Young’s ‘Only Love Can Break Your Heart’ as their debut single. Their forthcoming album, the wonderfully upbeat ‘International’, will be their 14th studio set but also their last – as Sarah Cracknell, Bob Stanley and Pete Wiggs explain in our extensive and hugely entertaining interview. It will conclude a recording career that’s been both tirelessly eclectic and deeply indebted to their love of classic pop music. And with the list of guests on the new album including Vince Clarke and Nick Heyward, as well as radio and television presenters Katie Puckrik and Colin Murray, it’s a splendid way for the trio to bow out.

This month’s Electronic Sound cover star is sci-fi electronica legend and space boffin JEFF MILLS, whose many career highs include an acclaimed series of radio shows for NASA. From co-founding the fearsome Underground Resistance in Detroit in 1989 to beaming out epic transmissions via his long-running Axis label, Mills has spent decades crafting his singular vision of electronic music, taking in alien soundscapes, cosmic operas, symphonic collaborations and more. As well as delving into his huge back catalogue, our interview with this sonic adventurer and edgy futurist covers subjects such as Marvel comics, 1920s movies, black holes, technology, telepathy, and the similarities between musicians and astrophysicists. It’s a gripping read, as you’d expect from a man with one foot in tomorrow and the other somewhere near Alpha Centauri.
