A Strange Encounter is the fourth studio album by British indie rock band Thirteen Senses.

Norman Fleischer gave a mixed review of the album, noting the Thirteen Sense's failure to live up to the initial success of The Invitation.

Fleischer writes: "On the other side A Strange Encounter somehow also sees the band liberating itself from any expectations.

But somehow it also feels a bit more like a tender final wave from a talented band like the desperately needed new start.

This gives the new Thirteen Senses record a somehow bittersweet aftertaste.
