So Tough

by Saint Etienne

So Tough cover art

Heavily reliant on dialogue snippets from British cinema, this sophomore release constructs an evocative homage to London's urban culture and pop history. The trio fluidly combines elements of house music, 1960s girl-group melodies, and dub, creating a cohesive, sample-heavy aesthetic that profoundly influenced the trajectory of 90s alternative dance.
