Zero 7 – Simple Things (2LP Gatefold/180g)
Zero 7’s Simple Things is a beautifully chilled slice of early 2000s downtempo, trip-hop, and soul-infused electronica. Featuring guest vocalists like Sia, Sophie Barker, and Mozez, the album flows effortlessly with warm textures, relaxed beats, and lush instrumentation. Tracks like “Destiny,” “In the Waiting Line,” and “Give It Away” create a dreamy, introspective atmosphere perfect for late-night listening or Sunday mornings. Drawing comparisons to Air, Massive Attack, and Portishead—but with a softer, more optimistic tone—Simple Things became a defining album of its genre. It’s timeless, calming, and effortlessly stylish—an essential for fans of laid-back, sophisticated electronic music.
