Sound of Water

Saint Etienne

A fluid, minimalist departure into ambient electronic textures. Breathy vocals float over liquid synths and nine-minute rhythmic odysseys.

Moments Worth Listening For
The sprawling nine-minute evolution of How We Used to Live as it shifts from a folk-tinged opening to a rhythmic electronic pulse.
The delicate interplay of acoustic guitar and glitchy electronics on Sycamore.
The way the field recordings on The Place at Dawn create a sense of physical space and transition.
