The Guardian have a few tracks from the new album including some of the remixes streaming here.

It's already won four stars from Alexis Petridis, and now you too can swoon at the pop joyfulness of Saint Etienne's new album, Words and Music by Saint Etienne.

The album comes in three different editions, and we've procured this exclusive blend of originals and remixes from across the three versions – with 2 Bears and Erol Alkan among those remaking Saint Etienne's music.

The album was recorded with former members of the Xenomania writing and production team, after the group spent time working at Xenomania HQ. "Alesha Dixon would make tea for everyone; Nicola Roberts would be watching MTV next door – I never heard her speak; Neil Tennant would call you up to the studio to put handclaps on something – it didn't bother me too much that he called me 'Lawrence'," Bob Stanley told me recently. "It was an ideal setup, like the Brill Building, but with soft furnishings and a big picture of Serge Gainsbourg on the wall." They've been getting a lot of love in the Graun. Someone there is a fan.
