"Nautique" is a slightly moodier prospect. It's an entirely spacier beast, spending its first few minutes swimming lazily in a choppy sea of low-end drone. Like the A-side, it could quite happily work in a sun-soaked daytime set—the track's middle section is almost cartoonishly mellow—but there's a terser edge to its percussion that hints towards twilight. At the same time, it never quite rouses itself to action, preferring to drift along in comfortable, spaced-out reverie. As with "Wanna Do," its blissed-out elegance sounds like the most effortless and natural thing in the world.
