Zero 7 – When It Falls

If, like countless others who discovered Zero 7’s debut, Simple Things, you’ve been using it as mood music during “strategic moments” with the opposite sex, When It Falls will be a boon. Sophie Barker’s vocals are silky smooth and sexy as ever, as are the vocals provided by her male counterpart Mozez. The addition of another female vocalist, Tina Dico, helps vary the tone a bit. But, ultimately, Zero 7 will always be two pasty British guys tinkering in the studio to create warm, rich, slow-jams that seamlessly blend electronic sounds with live instruments playing down-tempo grooves for us to snog to. Amen and amen.
