Tiger Bay is the third studio album by Saint Etienne. Released in 1994, the record is described by Bob Stanley as “an album of modern folk songs done in 20th Century styles like techno and dub.” Like a Motorway, for example, blends Kraftwerk-style techno with the melody from the 19th Century folk song Silver Dagger. Some of the songs, such as Marble Lions and Former Lover forsake electronics for classical folk instrumentation and orchestral arrangements. One, Western Wind, is a traditional English folk song.

Now, the record is available on vinyl for the first time since its original release.
