Laika - Sounds of the Satellites (1997)

Masterful second album of anxious, slow-burning trip-hop from this British trio. Nervous, skittering rhythms, spacious, psychedelic atmospheres, and cool, deceivingly laid-back vocals.

I watch the lights on the ocean
I count the leaves on the trees
If it wasn't for your indecision
There'd be nothing between you and me
