Sound Of Water
Saint Etienne
Sarah Cracknell and the rest of the band took a daring turn toward experimental sounds on this project. Songs such as Heart Failed In The Back Of A Taxi highlight their ability to mix sad narratives with sophisticated production.
Produced with Kid Loco, the record captures an atmosphere at the turn of the millennium that feels both digital and organic. It balances a love for sixties sunshine pop with forward-thinking textures. The record remains a high point for the group.
