Alasdair McLellan and the lead singer of Saint Etienne, Sarah Cracknell, discuss the blinding new film
captures the perfect British summer. The summer we wanted to have, but didn’t quite get. The summer, actually, that we had last year. Soaked in sunshine , the film takes us on a whistlestop tour of the UK; from St Paul’s Cathedral in London, to Aysgarth Falls in the Yorkshire Dales , Grangemouth in Scotland, Portmeirion in Wales, an oil refinery in Southampton and even Stonehenge.
So we chose pieces of music from that period, things that had been radio singles, but not necessarily the cool stuff – we sampled bands you wouldn’t expect us to sample. And then Pete [Wiggs] and a guy called Augustin Bousfield – which is a great name, isn’t it? But we refer to him as Gus – played with them and manipulated them, and turned them into something completely new.
“It’s like looking back on things through a mist or fog, and you just remember the good bits and the optimism – memories play tricks on us, don’t they?” – Sarah CracknellTS: Alasdair, how did you approach the project? I always wanted to do something about the UK and around the UK, and [Saint Etienne musician] Bob Stanley was very keen on that. So we started on this journey and ended up going to all these places.
