Saint Etienne-Slow Down At The Castle

Saint Etienne are an English indie dance act, fronted by Sarah Cracknell. Former music journalists Bob Stanley and Pete Wiggs are the other regular members of the band. They are named after the famous French football team AS Saint-Étienne, European Cup runners-up in the 1970s.
Tales from Turnpike House is an album by British pop group Saint Etienne. It was released June 13, 2005 (2005-06-13) on Sanctuary Records and preceded by a single for "Side Streets" on June 6, 2005 (2005-06-06). The album features two tracks co-written and producted by Xenomania ("Lightning Strikes Twice" and "Stars Above Us") as well as a guest vocal from 1970s pop star David Essex.

The album is a concept album about life in a block of flats in Islington, London.

In the United States, the album was released January 24, 2006 (2006-01-24) by Savoy Jazz.

Initial quantities of the UK release came with a bonus EP of children's music entitled Up the Wooden Hills. The band felt that music for young children under seven was fed into unexceptional pop music, and wanted to make music that children and parents could enjoy together.

2-disc editions of the U.S. release included instead the Savoy Nu Groove Sampler, containing six tracks from various Savoy Jazz releases, including "Side Streets" from the album itself
