The Null Device

Apologies for this blog's absence last night; something went down upstream and the machine where it's hosted was inaccessible. Anyway, I had occasion to be at PolyEster Records last night, and picked up Saint Etienne's most recent CD, Sound of Water. I'm listening to it now; it's very good. I was persuaded to buy it after hearing the 9-minute triptych How We Used To Live on 3RRR, though was half expecting the rest of it to be slavish Swingin'-Sixties retro (sort of like Mono's Formica Blues or something), which mercifully it is not; instead you get lush, many-layered, evolving soundscapes with a classic pop feel, and lyrics mentioning things you'd never expect, like space exploration. Well worth checking out.
