Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded in Berlin with contributions from To Rococo Rot, 'Sound of Water' signifies a noticeable departure from the trio's previous club-oriented fare. The arrangements utilize spacious, ambient electronic textures to frame Sarah Cracknell's elegant vocal performances. It is highly regarded for its refined, minimalist production and cohesive atmospheric flow.
