Pagi ini saya menyempatkan diri membuka salah satu account e-mail saya yang hampir terlupakan. Ternyata insting saya berbuah kejutan. Satu buah e-mail dari Saint Etienne, salah satu band pop 90an favorit saya, menginformasikan berita tentang rencana rilisan album baru mereka yang sementara ini berjudul Can I Borrrow A Feeling? Berita ini saja sudah cukup membuat saya excited. Lalu seperti biasa mereka memaparkan rencana tour di semester kedua tahun 2011 ini, saya tertegun ketika membaca kata Indonesia pada paparan mereka. Exciting news! Betapa tidak? Setelah awal tahun kemarin Saint Etienne batal untuk manggung di salah satu event pop internasional Indonesia: Soundshine. Tentunya ini menjadi satu yang layak ditunggu di penghujung tahun ini. Untuk lengkapnya inilah bunyi pesannya:
Hi Everybody (in the voice of Dr Nick)
It's been a while since our last missive, but fear not this is for good reason as we've been plotting, hatching and other mysteriously creative verbs. Our new record deal is finally signed! The new album "Can I Borrow A Feeling" (not really called that) will be released early next year. We have been working with various different luminaries and are finally beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel. A nice tunnel mind you, like a tunnel of love.
Our summer season of festivals is now over - thanks to all who came to see us. We a have a gig in Linz, Austria on the 31st October and are planning an Indonesian show before the end of the year.
There are other plans afoot which we don't want to jinx by mentioning but we'll email you as soon as we can.
In the mean time you might want to check out this interview that Bob recently did with legendary Rolling Stones manager and producer Andrew Loog Oldham here.
love Sarah Bob and Pete xxx
Semoga kali ini, Sarah Cracknell dkk. benar-benar bisa memuaskan kuping dan mata kita secara langsung. Fingers crossed.
