On this album, they take that theory to it's logical conclusion. I've Been Trying To Tell You uses sounds and samples from 1997-2001, evoking the folk memory of the period by using and twisting recordings from the time, re-working them into new songs. For the first time, Saint Etienne didn't record together in a studio. The album was completed remotely, in Hove (Pete), Oxford (Sarah) and Bradford (Bob, in collaboration with film and TV composer Gus Bousfield, who contributes to a number of tracks). An accompanying film by Alasdair McLellan is a slow-motion travelogue that takes in \"a lifetime's worth\" of locations. The dreamlike mood of the album, and the film, is a statement in itself: namely that memory is a largely fictionalized product of the human mind, rather than a reliable record.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49215697387762,"sku":"PIAA1960.2","price":19.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0830\/7018\/9810\/files\/4010394-2753077.jpg?v=1778921314","url":"https:\/\/discandvinyl.com\/products\/saint-etienne-i-ve-been-trying-to-tell-you-music-cd-5400863054687","provider":"DiscandVinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
