Zero 7

Simple Things

British European 180 Gram Double Vinyl Zero 7's ability to conjure beautiful lullabies with all the romance of 1960s French pop as found on their debut longplayer 'Simple Things' made them the toast of soundtrack composers and chillout connoisseurs the world over Their debut is a truly gorgeous album All the tried and tested atmospheric tricks are in play bleeps and whooshes layered over plodding Fender Rhodes chords swathes of strings and tender trumpet parps but it's Binns and Hardaker's languid grooves and the soft melancholy of their melodies that make dreamstate instrumentals 'Give It Away' and 'Polaris' utterly enchanting The real power of 'Simple Things' however is in its songs As beautiful as their ambient strains are it's when laid beneath the seductive vocals of Australian diva Sia on the ethereal 'Destiny' or the heart breaking 'Distractions' that their potency becomes apparent
