Sound of Water (2000) is an album by Saint Etienne. At the time of release, this album split the band's fanbase. Between those who preferred the poppier tune based sound of Good Humor and singles like "You're In A Bad Way" and "He's On The Phone". Sound of Water was developed as Saint Etienne's ambient and experimental statement.

Their previous US release Places to Visit was clearly the beginning of this new direction. Many of the artists that they collaborated with on that EP are present on Sound of Water.

During the groups tenure with Sub Pop (1998-2005) Saint etienne released many albums. Places to Visit preceded Sound of Water. In turn, the label released Interlude a year afterwards. Interlude is a bsides album, which collected many of the songs from Sound of Water singles, as well as some from the Good Humour era.

The album is one of the few releases where the band did not collaborate with Ian Catt in some way.
