Actually their forthcoming album, Simple Things, is great. Sia Furler, who guests, is a former Adelaide singer - she sang in an acid jazz group Crisp years ago - and has a vocal style so similar to Lauryn Hill it's uncanny, especially on the song Distractions, also on this EP. For those not in the loop Zero 7 have been heralded in the cooler UK press for their chilled grooves - they have remixed Radiohead and Terry Callier in the past, and have been compared to the likes of Air and Kruder & Dorfmeister, etc. It's jazzy and soulful stuff.
