Downbeat Electronoica, Downtempo, Synth-pop& & Indie Pop - Sound Of Water was Saint Etienne's fifth studio album. The album marked a shift in direction for the band from the polished, intelligent, perfect Pop to an more experimental, ambient sound. A change of producer to the High Llamas' Sean O'Hagan and Berlin based Post-Rock trio To Rocco Rot yielded a different but still as highly regarded album featuring the epic single How We Used To Live and classics Heart Failed In The Back Of A Taxi and Boy Is Crying.
