Saint Etienne's previous album, 2021's I've Been Trying To Tell You, was a master class in vibes. The band's ingenious use of layered, reconfigured samples and hazy, gloriously imprecise sonics evoked a warm sense of nostalgia for the post-rave chillout rooms of a pre-Internet dreamworld. That album's ethereality also had a sort of closing-reel drama in its cinematic approach to tone and mood; it would have been for a movie that left you wistful but happy. A similar—yet very different—approach is undertaken on The Night, where the mood is much more spare and haunting, tinged with a nostalgia that's much more wistful. It's also a considerably more literal—and literate—affair, with several spoken interstitials that function both as scene-setters and as segues; it also is notably less reliant on samples, and instead finds the band working together live in the studio. The result is fascinating, as it is a more direct method that still makes for an impressionistic experience. The Night is rather slight album, clocking in at just over 40 minutes, with only six of the 14 tracks resembling "songs" in the sense that they're melody-driven and relatively lyrics-forward. And even many of those—especially the somnolent, album-closing "Alone Together" and the throbbing environmental ambience of "When You Were Young"—are so lightly structured that they feel less like songs than they do echoes of songs. That fits neatly with the dreamy atmosphere of the album, which is actually more explicitly explored on the spoken-word-and-ambience numbers like "Ellar Carr," "Through the Glass," and the aptly titled "Celestial." (Be not afraid, poetry-phobes; the spoken bits are brief interludes within the larger instrumental interludes.) While pieces like this are a million miles away from the clubby pop that the band is best-known for, Saint Etienne is highly skilled at mood-setting. It probably all comes together best on the epic atmospheres and soaring near-chorus of "Preflyte," but this is an album best enjoyed as an end-to-end experience. © Jason Ferguson/Qobuz
