    The Mixtape with Sarah Cracknell (Saint Etienne) | The Final Tour, Essex, Glastonbury & Mixtape Picks

    This week on The Mixtape, Mark catches up with Sarah Cracknell, the unmistakable voice of Saint Etienne, as the legendary British indie-pop trio prepare to say goodbye with their final Australian tour. Sarah reflects on the band's decision to end after more than three decades, why now felt like the right time to leave with their legacy intact, and what she'll miss most once Saint Etienne takes its final bow. She also shares stories from the band's remarkable career, including being part of Glastonbury history, the truth behind the long-running Groovejet rumour, and memories of recording their classic debut Foxbase Alpha. As always, Sarah builds her perfect Mixtape, selecting the songs that have shaped her life—from dancefloor classics and indie favourites to timeless love songs and overlooked album gems. Plus, she takes on the Quick Fire Five, reveals her ultimate dream concert, and plays a hilarious Essex edition of Collab, Tour or Diss, choosing between Depeche Mode, Alison Moyet and Damon Albarn. Whether you've followed Saint Etienne since Nothing Can Stop Us or you're discovering their music for the first time, this is a warm, funny and nostalgic conversation with one of Britain's most distinctive voices.
