The lovely folks of Saint Etienne have announced details of a new LP called ‘The Night’ and there’s a new song which is borderline ambient called ‘Half Light’ to listen to – it’s genuinely one of the loveliest things you’ll hear all year.

The album will land December 13th and is the 12th from the group. The new song is apparently indicative of the album.

“We wanted to continue the mellow and spacey mood of the last album, perhaps even double down on it, but it’s a very different album, not based on samples; Songs, moods and spoken pieces drift in and out whilst rain pours down outside. It’s the kind of record I like to listen to in the dark or with my eyes closed,” Pete Wiggs says.

“We wanted ‘The Night’ to be a calming album, warm and serene, but at the same time we wanted to create something gorgeous and dense,” added Bob Stanley.
