Ether Song
2003 studio album by Turin Brakes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ether Song is the second studio album by the British rock band Turin Brakes. Following the band's first album The Optimist LP (2001), this was a bit of a departure, relying on more electric instruments. Despite the change in sound, the album was received well by critics and reached number four on the UK Albums Chart.
