Ether Song is the second album by British rock band Turin Brakes. Following the band's 2001 debut album The Optimist LP, the album 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 #4 on the United Kingdom album charts.
